I own the entire series of Leaf exhibits. Probably the top rated set if I bothered to register. Some of them are a total universe of under 10. Minuscule. Ruth, Gehrig, McGraw, a few others. Demand form these seems pretty low. Go figure. But someone will pay 1000s for a rookie card from 1975. Can't figure the market and certainly not smart to fight it.

A PSA 6 Koufax now goes for more than a PSA 5 T202 Cobb. From a strict collecting standpoint it makes no sense.

Manias don't make sense, Peter, especially in retrospect. I mean, tulip bulbs? Pogs?? Beanie Babies??? When the end buyers, as opposed to the flippers, finally have their cards, the mania will stop and whoever is left holding the bag will lose a lot of money.

That is my belief as well, Adam.

And up until 4 months ago you could have 2 Koufax 6s for what a single T202 Cobb 5 costs. Those darn "waterfront" cards.

One of these is a thing of beauty. One is just a nice commodity card.

A Koufax RC is still a thing of beauty. I owned one before this craze and will own one after. Obviously I wish I had bought a higher grade when I picked mine up given recent sales, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great looking and iconic card.

That Cobb is very nice too btw, definitely an under appreciated card.

Different strokes I guess. I like the post-war just fine and I obviously collect it, but to me pre-war is in a completely different league.

I agree. Like you I have pre-war, post-war, and modern in my collection. I appreciate them all for different reasons. But yea I am surprised some of the pre-war stuff isn't more popular or valuable given the scarcity.

In case you did not get the memo...Ty Cobb is just not a "waterfront" player.

Oh I got it, but I tore it up. I think Green Cobbs are waterfront though even according to the authority.
