I have no idea on prices, but for me the Red is perhaps THE classic pre-war card.

I hope they go down I need more

I like the green cobb but think it is at a fairly high point but, or course, no one knows for sure..
Red Cobby is a great and classic card. If I get another I want something other than a T206....probably a nice Coupon, as I used to own, but they too have soared.

I bought my green before the jump so I'm perfectly happy with the current price point. BUT I have to say, I really don't understand how the Bat Off card isn't the most expensive of the bunch. In my opinion it is the most beautiful card in the set, let alone the most beautiful Cobb:

Of the big 4, Wagner and Plank are unattainable, and Doyle and Magee are not popular as players to the common collector.

As someone said earlier, who is the best player in the set, hands down Cobb. Which Cobb card is the best in the set (backs aside), hands down its greenie. Although the scarcity of the green is not that far off from the others, the simple fact that its his "best" card of the bunch makes demand the trump card of its popularity. And I think that will continue to influence the relative values between the cobb types. Ala 52 mantle supply/demand dynamics.

I don't think its being manipulated, I bought my green Cobb a couple months ago, in its highs.... I only have 2 T206 cards, my green cobb and a Cy young...

I don't care if it comes down in price, all things are cyclical. From ole Kass - Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

I am just curious, why is it hands down Cobb greenie? What makes it the best?

I, myself wouldn't call it the best or the worst. But one thing is for sure, it is bringing the rest of the Cobb cards up. I believe right now all Cobb cards are hot and will continue to rise. I wish I knew that about a year ago. That's the way it goes.

I disagree. It's clearly scarcer than the other three.
