A Great Cobb print out

Are these 30 the complete collection of Cobb Red Portrait backs ? If not, how many Cobb Red Portrait cards are their in the T206 set and all others total ?

In my opinion, Jamie's Red Cobb back Run is as big a T206 accomplishment possible. Its a shame its being broken up, but all good things must eventually end, and its truly incredible that one person once owned a front-back example of every T206 Red Cobb, including T213/T214.

Chris, I agree, and they made another small error on the poster, that I won't point out, but your point is well noted...it was a "fumble" that they messed up a few details on the marketing collateral. They were probably rushing to get it done prior to the Nat'l.

My larger point, was that this thread, the one you started, is becoming (rightfully so) a celebration of Jamie's incredible Cobb run, so I thought the title should be more positive. Yes, Leon corrected it.

All good.

Yes, 30 is a complete run, the chances of seeing someone else do what Jamie did is very very small. Enjoy them all together, you'll never see it again.

Phil, my guess is that a collector with deep pockets will win all the the key cards in the auction to replicate this incredible back run. I hope Ryan H. is paying attention (hi Ryan)!

I agree Val, It's an incredible run Jamie built and would fit nicely with Ryan's collection, couldn't go to a nicer guy and would love to see it "stay in the net54 family". It'd be a shame to end up in a locked hedge fund vault never to be seen again.

If 30 is the number it may be missing one as I noticed a Coupon in there.

Regardless, AWESOME!

There are 30 tobacco red cobbs in all... 4 T213 Coupons.. 1 T214 Victory.. and 25 T206s ( one of which includes the Cobb back)

Jamie,
I am pretty sure I look at your photo of all the Red Cobbs probably once a week. Such an amazing feat. I have 6 of the 30. All super low grade and none of them really difficult, but have enjoyed and been really excited each time I can acquire another. Your collection has been quite the inspiration. Thanks for sharing the journey over the years.

Chad

Hi Val! And Phil, thanks for the kind words. Jamie and I did in fact speak (several times) before he decided to sell the run. Ultimately, I encouraged him to consign the cards, and I think he made the right decision listing them with Heritage. I expect Jamie will do very well.

Wouldn't it been nice if you would have bought the run and then given some of the cards out to members on the forum or have a Closest to Guess the price contest on some ebay selling Cards and Give these away as Prizes???

Honestly, the back run is a real tough thing to buy in its entirety. First, anyone capable of buying the back run almost certainly already has several of the Cobbs and does not want to buy duplicates. Second, valuation is exceedingly difficult in this market. Third, assuming the parties can get past these first two matters, there is the question of whether that�s where the buyer wants to put $1mm+, especially given today�s pricing. That�s why consigning then to a top
AH and selling each card individually makes the most sense and will likely get Jamie the best results.

However, had I cut a deal with Jamie on the back run, I most certainly would have used them as prizes for guess-the-price competitions (I very wise use of $1mm+!!!!!).

WE all agree on all you Points Ryan
Especially agree that the Prize are a Great use of the $1mmm cards

Think big picture
1. Draws more members to the Net54Baseball Forum
2. Get's more members more involved in participating in the Forum
3. Creates Excitement in the Card Collection Industry
4. It will be a Social Media Frenzy about the Giveaways
5. You can be famous on Twitter, TikTok, WeChat, FaceBook and sp much more
6. Last Think of all the children (or adults) you will make happy

But Either way We are all Hoping Jamie Get's the most from this Auction possible

I am not picky Ryan. I would be willing to take any of the doubles if that helps. Lol.

Just read Ryan's reply again and definitely show Ryan is such a classy gentleman.
