"Lucky 7" find - Cobb with Cobb back

[Steve D]

Every time I see the description of this "find", I crack up at the comment that the cards were found in "Great Grandpa's old bag", and think, You really shouldn't talk about Great Grandma like that!

Are you saying the Black Swamp Find and the seven Ty Cobb cards are fakes?

I don't know that every one understands the magnitude of this find. I have said in the past that I thought Cobb backs were as scarce as Wagner's. Can you imagine coming across 7 Wagners? When I first heard about this, I was extremely skeptical. Now, it appears to be the real deal. I don't think it's going to lower the value of these cards. I will add this though, are all 7 cards very comparable in centering and size? They appeared to be from PSA's post....

I agree. Can you imagine something like this, "Oh, I just found these up in the attic in an old cigar box. I was going to throw them out since a lot of them are damaged and they are all the same player, but I thought I should check if they're worth something."

WOW...

Is that all the known Wagners?

I'm guessing you saw Bigfoot in your backyard the night you were abducted by aliens.

Scarcity in my mind is relative to the possibility.

First, I believe this is a massive find. But if there is a card that this could happen, the Ty Cobb back is one that makes the most sense.

Since it would be the only card added to the tin, Uncle Joe going to town on Ty Cobb Tobacco would have pulled out one of these with each tin bought.

Can't say that about a Wagner. He would be competing with hundreds of other players with every pull from a cig pack.

Also, kinda funny thought.

Uncle Joe buying Ty Cobb tin tobacco every week. He gets to the 8th, 9th, 10th, etc card and he's thinking......

"....I don't need this, I already have like 6 or 7 of these"
