Brian HodesI buy and sell alot of T202s and Leon is right in noting that this price is way out of hand for this condition (even for a Cobb). I wish I did this well when I sold them! However, there are two things here that MAY be the cause of this particular anomoly:
1. A high reserve (say $1200); and
2. an unsophisitcated bidder (with 0 feedback).
Thus it may be that the high bidders' high bid is $1200.
As a general rule though, T202 Cobbs significantly outperform the price guides regardless of condition -- especially the ones with the famous Conlan photo in the center panel. Also, as with many vintage cards, a particular T202 may not appear by itself very often on Ebay (or anywhere else in the open market).
