Default My Wife bought me this one
My wife bought this Cobb for me and I lost her 2 years ago. It will always be special to me. She shared my passion for collecting. What a special lady she was.

What a great Cobb!! My wife and I both collect together. Some of our best times have been involving the hobby.

Great stuff all!

Even in baseball I can't really make a choice because I don't have a marquee card. But prewar it would have to be one of these:

1920s Universal Surprise Box Ruth-Johnson-Sisler-Alexander:



Ty Cobb strip made with Exhibit PC art:



Exhibit and related strips of Jim Thorpe:

Default pre-war centerpiece ? Okay .



....not very clean nor bright but for some reason this Canadian 1936 World Wide Gum Hank is my thirties centerpiece ; what's weird is that this is possibly the smallest card I own ; my focus has always been "the big stuff" , from 1929 Kashin up to 1939 salutation exhibits and all the big-ass "R" cards in between.........but this little guy is the one that makes me smile...

Great, tough card of a truly great slugger, Mike. SABR's projections for him have him at 502 lifetime HR's, had he not missed 4 years to the war, and perhaps his lifetime BA could have been around .320 (instead of .313?) as well?

Thanks for showing it,

Larry

Default SGC Cobb Bat-off
Restarted collecting three years ago after a 40 year break. First tried Hot Prospects, changed to 60's HOFers, then to 50's HOFers, now only T206s. This Cobb is my favorite.
