I'm always surprised when veteran T206 collectors compare the printing and distribution of them to sets like Topps, Bowman, Goudey, Leaf etc...
Unlike those sets they were an advertising premium whose main purpose was to sell more cigarettes. There are a significant number of players in the set that were retired or are represented on teams they weren't playing for at the time of distribution. |

Back in 2006 - 2007, I think I was the first guy on this forum to have completed an (all) SOVEREIGN set of 408 subjects.
My set includes the Six Super-Prints with their rare SOVEREIGN 460 backs (the toughest of the 6 which is this red Cobb). And, 44 more cards in the 150/350 Series (with SOVEREIGN 350 backs) in order to complete a Master set (476 cards). Since then, I know of two other T206 collectors who have achieved this accomplishment in recent years. So now, this SOVEREIGN Isbell card sells for an unprecedented " $889 ".....WOW ! Then can you imagine what I can get, if I consign this rare Cobb to an Auction sale (REA, ebay, etc.) ? ? It's mind-boggling ![]() . ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

You can at least get $879 for an Isbell Sovereign 150, that’s what the underbid was. Hope that assists with pricing.

Hey Marc
Occasionally, I like to post it......Leon says we should display a BB card with our posts, and what Leon suggests is fine with me ![]() This SOVEREIGN 460 Cobb is my favorite in my set....it's not going anywhere. Take care my friend. TED Z T206 Reference . |
