			Although they are not perfect, you can get some sense of the relative rarity of different backs by looking at the pop reports from PSA and SGC. PSA's T206 list is here: http://www.psacard.com/pop/t206/

			But aren't there different numbers of backs depending on the player? That was explained to me by another person on this forum.  For example, back 1 for player A might be rare, but back 1 for player B might be more common. ANd it affects the price, from what I am told. Is there a place where those types of rarities are defined, and perhaps have a "book" value or estimate? |

			trying to simplify a Cobb/Cobb and it's popularity by only calling it a 'rare back' is like call a 52T mantle just another high number.

|  rare cobb backs 
			
			The cobb/cobb back is truly one of the hobby's great cards.  I'd say top 5 all-time personally.  I just find it surprising that some of the other Cobb rare backs don't command more - especially the ones with lower pops than the cobb/cobb back.

 But...the Cobb/Cobb card is not a t206...it is a separate issue...a one of one...whose distribution is a mystery. Comparing to other rare back t206's is like apples to mangos! |

			But...the Cobb/Cobb card is not a t206...it is a separate issue...a one of one...whose distribution is a mystery. You've touched on an issue that has confused me (and likely others). Where does the hobby stand on this issue? My belief / opinion has been that the Cobb/Cobb is not part of the T206 set. Is there a definitive answer?
