It is the combo of the front and back that makes the Cobb Lenox rare, but that cross only matters to Master set or Master Cobb collectors. As well as Cobb back run collectors. Yet if someone just wants a Lenox they can find a different front. Or if someone wants a Cobb red they can just get a different back.

Andy is exactly right. There are some front/back combos that are 1 of 1. For example, I've been searching for a Gabby Street/Red Hindu, but so far it appears that there is only one known. But there are plenty of Gabbys, and a fair number of Red Hindus around. It's only the combination that is rare.
But Wagners, Planks and Cobb backs are rare in general, so that anyone who wants one would have to pay a very high price.
If the Lenox back only existed on Cobb reds, that would be an accurate comparison. But neither Cobb nor Lenox are that rare. They are only rare in that combination.
That is still a great card, though.
