E98 Ty Cobb for sale

HA! Great card! I owned this Cobb and have a sad story about this card while it was in my care at The National in Chicago. I would be proud to have this beauty in my collection, again. Good luck! Dan

Dan, when something goes from a 60 holder quality to a 30 holder "while in your care," I start thinking I should pick up the phone and call child protective services.

Well, I'm a tad emarassed, but I creased the card. It was in a PSA 2 holder because of the paper loss on the back. I broke it out and gave it back to PSA (2 times). Still a 2. I broke it out and gave it to SGC. Yep, another 30/2. OK, one last time... I broke it out and attempted to put in a soft sleeve when I bent it. It's a sad story. I never had any intention to sell it, and looking back obviously should have left it alone. It was my favorite card for 3 years before that National. After causing such harm I had it crossed into a GAI 3 holder and sold it for $3,300.00 (I couldn't look at what I had done, so I had to sell it), which by the way was the same amount I was offered by 2 different people when it wasn't creased and in a PSA holder. Live and learn! Since the "incident" I have not broken a holder to release a card, and probably never will.

wow that sucks DK, clearly you are still an amateur. imo it still wouldn't look out of place in a 3 holder in its current state, and blue is prettier than red or orange...good luck rman!
