They have no obligation to anyone to make public how many they actually have. The Black Swamp Find was handled all wrong from the stand point of maximizing profits.
The Black Swamp find family wasn't most concerned about profits. They didn't want to hurt the hobby, or any collectors, by doling them out over time. They were transparent in the process. If this Lucky 7 family has a stack in the back room then the game changes a little bit. I remember buying a pretty rare Red Cross back at one time. Eventually it wan't as rare as it was when I acquired it. I doubt many more Cobb backs come out but stranger things have happened.
