Wow! Dan and Joshue, Way to bring the thread back to life with those amazing Cobbs!!! Thanks Derek as I was glad to see my bid held up during extended time. I think it fell under the radar.

I picked this one up recently. 1908 Dietsche Cobb with "Cobb" name in shadow. I have never seen another like this. If you have one please post. Thanks

Mike, this is the 1908 version of the Cobb card. As you can see, there are a few versions of this card as well (based on the placement and font of the "Cobb").

Jeff: that's my point, all the ones I have seen have his name "Cobb" outside the shadow, like the one you shown . Do you have one "in the shadow " ?

Mike, that's one "shady" Cobb PC

Hmmmm....I don't know that I've ever looked that closely at these. I actually think there are three versions of this card if I recall correctly.

Mike - Here is a composite of the five different Cobb cards that I am aware of: 07 fielding, 07 batting, 08 name above shadow, 08 name in shadow, 08 no name.

Scott, you can never have everything when it comes to Cobb!

Jeff P - Those items need to be in Cooperstown. Great letter and Tubes auto'd PC.

Jeff L - Well played on that RPPC from Christies and a great action shot of Cobb.

Jason - Super impressive eye candy and even more amazing, they are all centered!!!

Kevin - Thanks for posting the Dietsches all together, as we all all visual creatures of collecting.

Since this thread has turned into a badass Cobb thread, Ill add this one of the Hubel Hotel known as Cobbzilla.
