I guess this means that there were about 700 E98's in the find? I guess they were probably all graded then since this post here shows 752 graded cards in the find: Link

There are 21 Cobb's from ranging from PSA7 - PSA9. Anyone have a guess what a 7 or 8 might bring? I've always like the image which is the same as the e93/e94 Cobb's. I'm hoping ~2K might be able to bring one of these down.

Which sentence did I end with a preposition? I can't find it.

Oh, you mean the sentence in the article. I didn't say exactly that- I spoke with the guy for fifteen minutes and that's all he came up with.....I said smarter things than that to him.

So, Barry, you're saying you were just being smart with a reporter?

That's usually not a good thing.

2k might get you a card in good condition., not near mint though... It's fun to wish, I'll be right there with you at that price! Heritage already announced that they will be selling these cards over the next few years to 'not flood the market'

22 Cobbs is a lot, but not enough to bring the cards down 90% imo

I will guess a Cobb in a 9 holder will still be all of 5k or more....even with 16 of them.

5K for a Cobb in a 9 holder?? I'll take every one of them right now! It will never happen.

A PSA 4 just sold on eBay for 4.5k, even with 16 in a 9 holder I'd be shocked at any of them selling for anywhere near 5k. These cards appear to have amazing provenance. With no real fear of alteration and the staggered sale, I'd say the nines are possibly worth closer to double that.

How about one of the 46 Wagner's? Would ~2K be able to get a 7 there? There are also 44 Cy Young's? Mebbe 1.5K for a 7? Still wishful thinking?
