There are 100+ rarer cards than the Red Cobb with the Lenox back -- rarity certainly doesn't correlate directly to value.

The only downside to putting it up for auction is the lack of control you have. Unless you plan on being a JC, you'll have to live with the result. You may want to keep trying for the best offer as the sale of the card means a lot to you.

True. However, a couple of auction houses have stated reserves which does stifle bidding but gives a certain amount of control to the consignor.

Here's one example that sold in 2009 SGC 50

Nice example but that was six years ago.

T206.org values it at about $4,100. I'm sure the back adds some though regardless of what t206.org says.

That 50 is spectacular. Granted it was six years ago but it's a really nice 50. If someone somehow offers you 25K I'd jump on it.

He said he putting it for auction and I asked him to let us know where it is...it not going to sell here as looks like net54 to small a sample for him to get the price he wants or believes would be a good price...I wonder what the biggest sale ever was on net54 b/s/t at least asking price was that was realistic... 100k?

I will put it away until I decide what auction house to use. Rob

I sold a card for about 52k on the BST, in auction style ......several years ago. I am not sure there has been a bigger sale, there could have been, I just don't know.
