Ty Cobb Rose Postcard.

Hasn't Cobb's W600 already sold for more than $100K?

Seems like I have seen more Cobb Rose postcards sold the last couple of years than most of the other Hall of Fame players. To me, it seems like Cobb already sells for a huge premium in that set compared to someone like Wagner.

My guess for the next $100K card would be a W600 of Mathewson where he is in a suit.

Sounds good to me!

Mathewson suit in mid grade would blow by 100k, more likely 250+ which is the area Wagner suits have brought and the Mathewson has just slightly lower known population as Wagner. Cobb is now many multiples of the 100k, doubtful that 1m would buy one now.

I will add that the buyers of the modern super cards and the vintage key cards are two separate groups of buyers for the most part, each having little interest in the other's area. The modern super card buyer insist on pristine cards and have little regard for cards less than perfect, thus even the T206 Wagner does not get them as excited due to having condition issues of various kinds in each and every example. Plus the Wagner is 1 of 70ish, they want 1 of 1, even if it is a newly minted variance of many, many other very similar cards, created solely to be slightly different and thus it's 1 of 1 status(or some other ratio of created scarcity).
