1907 W600 Cobb

Kevin:

Burkett and Mack are good comparisons, maybe a possibility for those two was that their playing days were either over or winding down by that time and the fans were more interested in the star players of the era. However, that doesn't explain Evers, who was in his prime during those days and played on the best team of the era, the mid 1900's Chicago Cubs. Guess we'll never know.............

I've seen six in some 25 years or so. Three professionally graded at recent auctions and three others. The others include two in terrible condition and the Copeland in near mint condition. It is not surprising that an exceptionally high auction price on a particular rare card will quickly bring out others. But the total of six for these cabinets made 100 years ago is quite low for a super-star player. I've heard speculation that others exist, and it may to be true, but I have never had evidence of any kind.

I've only seen two W600 Evers. One was a miss cut and the other was in the famous Tom Boblitt Collection.

Burkett and Mack – I’ve only seen one of each but no rumors attached to these.

Thanks for the insight, Jerry.

Do you recall how bad the miscut Evers was? Just so I know whether it is worth pursuing or not (of course I may never get the opportunity anyway).

Phil I would hold out for the one with Boblitt pedigree for sure.

Jeff:

Do you know where it currently resides and how likely it is to come up for sale/auction anytime soon?

[sb1]

Evers won't be available anytime soon, and No I don't own it, but I know where it is.

I have seen a Mack and have seen more then one Burkett, I do have one of him.
