Default Rarity argument at work today

Posted By: J Levine

One of my friends who collects mostly 30s and 40s stuff was arguing today about rarity and price. He was mentioning the Goudey Lajoie and Cobb with Cobb back and Ruth Baltimore News.

I blurt out without thinking that if you want rarity, find me a T205 Drum Cobb.

That got me thinking...how many Drum Cobbs could there be? If you really want rarity, it is things like this that make me wonder. I know there are a handful of Cobb w/ Cobb backs, a few Lajoies, even a couple Baltimore News Ruths but really, how many Drum back Cobbs are there? (or a T207 Red Cross Walter Johnson, etc.)

Just thinking out loud.
