I'll allow THAT one Jim!

Jim, beautiful card, truly. Not sure how that one didn't get a bump.

As for the holy grail for Cobb collectors...hmm...I'd have to say that it is the Boston Garter color card which Hunt auctioned off a couple years back.

Any consideration for the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb back?

Not for me because it has a front similar to the T206...the BG is just so different from any Cobb card..and it looks beautiful. I was the underbidder but am confident I would have never outbid the guy who won it...so that helps...a bit.

Geez, I've been missing out on all the fun. Sorry, these aren't to scale and I don't know why they are squished up next to each other. They are: 1904 Allegheny Frank Selee, 1902 W600 Hugh Jennings as a player with Philadelphia, T5 Pinkerton of Joe McCarthy as a player, Acebo (Cuban) of Chuck Connors, and Imperial Chocolate (Cuba) of Ruth and Hornsby.

I'm not passionate about Cobb cards, but he is one of the players I collect.

The Clement Bros. is by far my favorite cobb card.

It was the lack of eye-appeal. Mint corners and no staining.

There are a ton of great cobb cards, but I would put the BG cobb near the top of the list as well.

Kenny Cole - Love those Negro League HOFers! Here's a handful of toughies:

Not one of the E95 notebook cover Chances (they all have Chicago at the bottom). The NY name means it was issued or prepared to be issued or proofed to be part of a new but never issued set years after the E95 set was issued. Two others exist, a Kling Boston (mine) and one other which belongs to Keith Olberman (drawing a blank).
