Unbelievable Cobb, never even knew there was a signed copy of that one. Impossible to find unsigned. Top 5 Cobb in the hobby, congrats! Also love the Betz cabinet, always one of my favorite team composites of all-time.

Thank you, Phil. Here's what Cobb wrote on the card to his former teammate, Tom Bird, of the 1905 Augusta Tourists, on October 7, 1907, the day before Game 1 of the 1907 World Series:

"Well we have won the pennant and here for world series. I led in hitting, stolen bases 60, assists, and second 100 runs & hit 355 unofficially - hope you lots of luck, will be glad to hear at any time. Royston GA., have an offer to go with all-Americans out to California. Excuse this advertising card.

I was able to arrange a deal before the national and then pick this card up at the show. This is personally a huge card for me as I was concerned if I waited much longer I would no longer be able to afford this card.

That E95 Wagner caramel IS a huge card!

Saw one at the WCCS (Anaheim) the other day (a NY dealer had it), but the near $20k price tag was out of my range.
