[Archive]

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

The T206 Ty Cobb (red portrait) must be the most available T206 subject. And, this is understandable,
as it was printed with at least 25 different backs.

Here is a list of these backs in their scarcity ranking....as I've seen them in 26 years of collecting T206's.
Others might differ with this ranking....and, that's fine....anyhow, what are your inputs on this....and, do
you have any new backs to report ?

RE Ty Cobb T206 Red Portrait back variations

In addition to the the brown back Lenox listed on this thread, there most certianly exista a Lenox PSA 1 black back. This was lot #1 in the Cleansweeps Auction Feb 1 2018.

The lot reached a price of $7788 but the reserve was not met. I would think the owner is pleased as prices for Cobb have sky rocketed since then.
