Yeah, that’s mr rareback. Don’t know him personally, but I think he’s just generally buying a bunch of Cobbs. To own. For a long time. I don’t get the sense he’s trying to manipulate price as he’s said in posts that nothing is for sale. But he can speak for himself if he wishes.

Default Green Cobbs
PSA & SGC, combined, have Encapsulated over 1,100 T206 green portrait Cobbs. I don’t think anyone could possibly be buying enough of them to actually create a “hoarding” scenario. For the record, while the price of the green Cobb has drastically escalated, its only those somewhat scare “dead-centered” and rich green background examples that are realizing the super high price tags.

excellent points. anyone who thinks that 20-30 cards of any t206 cobb is a "hoard" doesn't understand how many t206s exist.

But in the short term, the "float" isn't that great, not that many are for sale, so it is possible for a few people to buy most of the ones that come on the market or at least most of the ones meeting certain criteria.

The population of '52 topps mantles haven't hurt its value. Not saying a green Cobb is more iconic than a '52 Mick. However, the green Cobb is an iconic card. These prices might be the new normal. Who knows, maybe today's prices will be viewed as a bargain at some point.

+1,

notwithstanding the rise past 2 years, I took the plunge and bought a green Cobb last month. Had to fill a hole in my collection, I’m sure there are more others like me... compared to what you see on the pop report.

'52 Mantle is another hyped card. Think about it, to get hyped a card needs to be available, but not so much that you are tripping over it, and have a story. No sense hyping a card if you can't acquire a bunch of before the ad campaign begins.

One dealer at the National mentioned that he buys all the Green Cobb's he can by bidding high. It is a very popular card with plenty of demand to start with. I definitely believe if two, or even one dealer with deep pockets speculated and bought all they could it impact the supply and create hungry buyers. A PSA Cobb PSA 2 being at 6k in only 2 days of bidding is hard to believe
