O/T Cobby Photo and Personalized Autograph

[T206Collector]

There are true Cobb experts, and I am not one of them. However, the signature looks very good to me. I would send it to PSA/DNA to have it encapsulated, which would determine authenticity more conclusively, and also make it easier to insure. I think I'd insure it for $5,000, based on my somewhat fair understanding of the Cobb autograph market.

If it's also a type 1 photo $5000 could be quite low. PSA obviously can settle that as well.

This is generally accepted, I think. From Google...I am sure there are different iterations of it, though.


“Type 1's are considered “1st generation photographs”, meaning they were developed from the original negative within 2 years of when the picture was taken. Type 2's are the second most desirable, typically. These are also developed from the original negative, but more than 2 years after the picture was taken.”
