"Lucky 7" find - Cobb with Cobb back

[packs]

This is awesome. But I think the hobby needs to retire the "find craze" it's run itself into lately. Lucky 7 find just sounds silly. And to see it on the flip is weird.

"Lucky 7" sounds like the name of a slot machine.

Edited to add: Leon, you should buy all of these and change it to the "Luckey 7". That I would be OK with.

I wish I could afford even 1 of them. I guess the story is big, I just saw it on the Good Morning America tv show. They said the 7 would bring conservatively 1M. Another collector and myself thought about an estimate of 2M for the group.....who knows.

what could you possibly be skeptical about????? PSA...the most respected name in the hobby...authenticated them.

Seriously...they are real,,,and this kinda thing happens!

I'm more skeptical of there being only "2" or a "handful" of cards known. I mean who would make the effort to only print a few of an item???

3rd time now that a grouping of this card was found. Some people just do not seem to grasp what is still out there in some of the attics of these old homes that have not changed families for decades or centuries. It is the only card from the series possible so those saying why no commons do not know what they are talking about. PSA makes mistakes this is not one of them. I agree with Leon on the around 2 million figure.

Anyone else notice they are all half grades?

[Bpm0014]

But if they are, why isn't the set 525?? Why do we consider the set complete at 524??

Because it's a different back lol. NOT a different card. It's Cobb Red Background.

Duh!!! Sorry, I knew that. It was too early when I posted that!!! haha

from the story:

That said, the combined eye appeal of the group is sensational on the face of the cards, far exceeding the numerical grades assigned. This included the backs, which are considered very clean for the issue in question. Each card was absent any eyesore-like stains, which plague at least a decent portion of the previously-discovered examples.

As a result, each of the seven cards received a half-point grade ranging from PSA FR (Fair) 1.5 to VG-EX + 4.5. There were also four PSA Good + 2.5s and one PSA VG + 3.5. The PSA 3.5 and 4.5 now represent the two highest grades received in the marketplace.


what a find. they are beautiful all together

Trust me, you're not the only one.

I wonder if the cards were found by these 2 guys...

funny david

[glynparson]

is asinine. They are real again are people just ignorant about this card and its history of being found in groups or are they just jealous they did not make the find?
