Default Cobb Autographs
A lady contacted me saying she had the following:

20 letters from TY COBB
1 Cobb autographed ball
1 New York Giants team signed 1922 ball

Her relative was a nanny hired by Cobb. All items are being authenicated. Prices for Cobb autographs are all over the place...comments/suggestions?!

Be sure they are real. if so. consign some to major auctions, maybe sell a few on here. There are some high rollers.

authenticity is the key. Good luck.

tell her to get them authenticated by someone who knows cobb, not just any big authentication company that has been known to authenticate cobb's signature on a photo of Hack Simmons.

How much are you charging Travis, since you are the expert on autographs.

Well, Isaac, at least Travis doesn't go back and edit out his mistakes if he blows it. "I would like some more photos if possible" LOL!

If you're not willing to stand behind your own judgements, or admit you made a mistake, Isaac, don't criticize anyone else.

He has never claimed to be an expert on Cobb.

I've never understood how someone close to a player could have so many letters that were MAILED by the player. What happened - did they all get returned to Cobb for insufficient postage?
