Cobb

Nicest Cobb you can get for the money. Any pose

[Touch'EmAll]

Don't know if you can still get into a Mathewson White Cap in EX5, but tough card in that grade and undervalued imo. Good luck with your choice.

I think a numerically graded Uzit is as good an investment as a low-grade Cobb.

I think a common in an 8 is NOT as good a choice as the other two options

Cobb, Cy Young, Mathewson. Any of them.

Best option out of the 3 you've presented in my mind would be a Premier HOF'er in as high a grade as your $2k will buy.
I would not focus on Cobb at that price point, but rather Matty/Young/Johnson, maybe Speaker, for much better value.

But if you're looking at this from an investment standpoint, it feels like we are at a recent crest of pricing with a lot of interest in T206, and so not a great time to do so.
Some of the run up in prices has been pretty exuberant...

I would suggest that there is much greater upside value in T-cards *outside* of the T206 set at the moment.

Cobb. His cards have been desired since their issue in 1909. Uzit backs have been en vogue for a fraction of that time.

Personally, I think it is going to be dependent on your risk tolerance. I see the Cobb as being a sure maintain/increase, but I can see more potential upside (and also risk of a downside) with a rare back, especially if you can get a lower level HOFer with a clean back.

I would stay far away from a really high grade common at this point.

I totally agree with this entire post from my recent collecting experience. I actually decided on saving more to buy a better graded Cobb than what 2gs would get me. Buy a nice HOF card with great eye appeal in the 4-5 grade range that’s a superior example for the grade.

Cobb but not a red portrait. Too many of them. Bat off or bat on. My choice would be a nice bat off in 1.5 or 2. They can be had for 2k.
