Danny, ha! That was you..?! Small world! Thanks - I thought so .. I have the set minus the "big 6" in this case, figured I'd get a Demmit and OHara STL someday but wasn't holding my breath to run out lay down $3K+ for them either. I came to drop off some cards for grading, look around, laugh at Levi's white top hat t-shirt and shorts and leave :-) .. Next thing you know, there goes the tax refund :-)

Thanks for letting me know on the post. So many people here I've never met, I'd be surprised how many you'd bump into at the show without knowing!

I have a red Cobb, but I don't have a green Cobb or the St. Louis cards.

Good find Ed, would have ran into you at the show too, but had to work. Maybe next time.
Congrats on the Demmitt.

Thanks - will post on the pick-up thread when I get it back (gave to SGC right away). Plan to be at National here in August, the Donald E Stephens is only about 5 miles from me.

I have all 4 Cobbs, my green is an SGC70 with large borders. Don't have the other cards.

All 4 Cobbs and Demmit and O'Hara.

All 3 are tough in there own way..finding a centered Green Cobb is a lot tougher than one would think.

As for Demmitt & O'Hara not easy to find but can be done. However trying to find anything clean VGEX or better is super tough IMO. Look at most peoples set or near sets and for the most part you will see these cards well below the avg. grade vs. the other cards that they have.

That's true. And you seem to have found a real beauty.

Approximately 95 % of the Green Cobb cards that have the PIEDMONT 150 back are off-center as mine is (shown here). If centering
of this T206 Cobb is important to you, then look for a PIEDMONT 350, or SOVEREIGN 150, or SWEET CAPORAL 150/350, or OLD MILL,
or Brown HINDU..........Note..SOVEREIGN 350 does not exist.
