Rarity

Josh - that's a heckuva card but am I missing something as to the rarity? I'd guess that there are at least 50 of those around. Nonetheless, a beauty! Your Gimbel's Ruth RC is many-fold rarer, no?

Matt,

In my mind, if there are only 50 of something in existence, its rare. Certainly not unique, but rare none the less. Perhaps that is not what the OP had in mind and seeing that I was the first to post (Leon hadnt actually posted a scan at the time), I had little to go by other than "let’s see some things that you don’t see on ebay everyday".

As for the Ruth, its a Weil back and I agree much rarer. However, since Ive got it listed on the BST, I thought it best not to post it here and risk someone thinking I was only posting it to further advertise.

Definitely don't see one listed on eBay everyday! Thought maybe I was missing a back variation or something. Great cards you've been showing lately.

What is it with Jeff's and Cobbs.

rman i think the "C" is the beginning of Cobb's signature...maybe JSA will authenticate it
