There are six Green Cobbs on ebay right now. People kept their Cobb cards through the years. It will never be hard to find one.

Yeah that PSA authentic one for auction
is a beauty I see know reason to buy an affordable
one that looks like &@(#% just to have one. I need a centered
4+ or nothing. In other words I'll never own one

There used to be dozens, now there are less. All of them are low grade or priced not to sell. The populations at or above a 4 are significantly more scarce than his counterparts.

Correct. Ebay will always show cards that are currently being bid on and always show cards that are significantly over priced. That will never change.

The point I am making is that if you have enough cash you can always get one. They're just not that scarce. It's like the 1952 Topps Mantle.

Don't get me wrong, I love a nice Green Cobby as much as the next guy, but I never see it as an urgency buy, even when there are surges in the market, because they come up for sale regularly.

I agree. They are not rare. Maybe a shorter supply but available. That and the 52 Mantle are in demand so they will be available. In the long run I still believe the market for the 52 Mantle is much bigger via crossover to Yankee collectors whether they collect cards in general. If they have the money a 52 Topps looks good on display.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying.
