Probably not if you could buy a stack for a nickel apiece.

Excellent research Kevin. Thanks.

Great stuff Kevin,
I wonder how the Speaker would have fared if this info was widespread before the auction.
Still great postcards and images; for me I'm not so caught up in the "rookie" designation so it doesn't matter as much. I'm sure others feel differently.

Craig:

Not only the Speaker but how about the Cobb? Would it have sold for close to the same amount if not considered one of his Rookie Cards?

My guess is that the same person that bought the Speaker bought the Cobb also........

I don't know of anyone who ever considered the NC Cobb to be one of his rookie cards.

I think that just about all HOF Rookie Card collectors have considered the Novelty Cutlery Cobb to be one of his Rookie Card options along with the Dietsche, Wolverine & Taylor postcards and W600. That is assuming that you are not hung up on the postcards are not "cards" thing and therefore do not qualify for Rookie Card status.

That's interesting, Paul. Where did you get the name of that publisher and how is it connected to those two sets?

I think if you search the archives of Net 54 you'll find that most do not consider the NC to be one of Cobb's rookies, PC or not. As for PCs, the W601 PC surely came before the NC as did the Dietsche.
