The $1,000 Question

[ullmandds]

Dave's 1921 cobb exhibit on the BST right now would be a great first vintage cobb for less than $500!

I was thinking the same thing Pete, that`s a nice card. It doesn`t quite fit the topic but for me the best looking Ted Williams "48" Leaf for under 1 K sounds good. Always liked that card. Another choice Cy Young E-90, it would mostly likely be trimmed but still a nice looking example could be had for about 1 K. Cool topic.........

I love the leaf williams and the e90-1 young(boston) too...and both are in my collection.

Truth is there are a plethora of nice cobbs on ebay for $1000 or less...Caramels...Tobaccos, etc...cards that were $500 cards a few years ago...$1000+ now! Get em while they're only $1000.

If you look hard and long you can still find an E90-1 Young portrait, not trimmed and fairly decent, in the 1k range. Not sure how much longer that will happen as it's a really nice portrait of a name no one will ever forget because of the award.

My condition requirements aren't that high.

As points of reference, an e101 cobb in a BVG A holder (trimmed with good eye appeal) sold in both July and October 2018 for less than $700 both times. I also bought an SGC 1.5 E90-1 Young for less than $500 last month (granted, it has paper loss and crease on the front, but still)

Going through the suggestions in this thread, I realized that I had a lot of the cards being suggested... E95 Wagner, T206 Cobbs, 1933 G Ruth and Gehrig, 1934 G Gehrig, 1939 PB DiMaggio, 1941 PB Ted Williams, T206 Mathewson and DeLong Gehrig...

Nice cards. Now if we could only get those for 1k each!!

Not knowing much about prewar, as well as being somewhat younger and stupider, I somehow convinced myself shortly after buying it that the card was trimmed, so I sold it for probably a bit less than I paid for it. Less than a year later I saw the same card (I could tell from the attributes it was the exact one I had...) in a PSA 5 slab for sale on eBay.

So yeah, that was a few dollars lost...

Thanks. Yes, we'd now have to go pretty low grade to get most of these for 1k...

[MichelaiTorres83]

How much does one of these cost if I wanted a specific card made and what size are they for that price?

One last question, will you ensure 1 of 1 on the card fronts you do and would you also consider doing the cards back?

There's one on ebay now SGC 1.5 with a BIN of $1,000.

A 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth in 1 or A condition.

How about this card on ebay under 1k ? Cobb with Jennings ( 2 HOFers with the middle showing Cobb stealing )https://www.ebay.com/itm/T202-Cobb-J...sEd:rk:15:pf:0

[Leon]

That is a nice pick for a series that gets little love.

Thats a great card Paul. I've always loved that Exhibit of Foxx

[Ricky]

Great Foxx pickup!

[Leon]

Late to the party but that is a cool and scarce card.
