Maybe I should put my Ty Cobb away.

I do have front and back pictures up with a price or best offer.

Hey Turner,
The Lajoie Brown Lenox was sold raw in Hunt Auctions in February of 2004, for $2800. At the time the card was identified incorrectly as a black Lenox. I believe the card still resides in the collection of a long time Lajoie collector and contributor here for many years.
Hope you are well
Brian

T206 red Cobb Cycle 350, PSA 3, currently at $8,400 with BP at Goldin. Not that rare of a card... Only proves further that rare backs are all jacked and overpriced and this is making the Nap Lenox look like a relative bargain!

I'm not sure I follow. Rare backs are overpriced, yet the Lajoie was a bargain at $25K? Huh? It's late and I'm tired, but I can't comprehend how something can be overpriced yet still be a bargain.

Suddenly my highest valued card.

[Rhotchkiss]

Yes, agreed, "overpriced" and "bargain" used simultaneously to refer to the same subject is necessarily oxymoronic and logically inconsistent. My point was simply that if $9000 for Cobb Cycle 350s is the new normal, then $24k for the Nap is, IMO, a relative steal. That said, I remember feeling about real estate in 2007, how I do about rare backs today..... I think things are "whack" but in this whack world I would rather have the Nap at $24k than the Cobb cycle at $9k (although they are both great). The Nap is a once a decade/maybe lifetime card, and assuming the buyer paid that sum to collect, price doesn't really matter on card like that (if buyer can reasonably afford to stroke the check).

Why do you presume that an outlying price in a Goldin auction of all places somehow sets the new value range of rare backed T206s?
