T206 noob here, question about recent Cobb purchase.

[atx840]

Long time admirer who is finally taking the plunge to get this set going, starting with the cards I like the most.

I picked this up as I absolutely love how beautiful these portrait cards are. I am more concerned with eye appeal (no creases & paper loss, centered) vs corner wear. Would any of you long term collector experts have any concerns with this outside of possibly paying way too much : )

Much appreciated.

looks good to me. I don't think you paid too much. Looks like it would grade out at a "3" to me and that would put you in range of $900. If it graded a "4", even higher. So, not too bad.

Congrats on your first pickup!

agreed...looks like a nice vg/vg-ex cobby...enjoy it!

I like the deal. I think you got a very good buy, but don't worry, speaking from personal experience, you'll overpay for something soon enough.

based on the scan, it's good!!

By the way...nice back as well. The Sovereign Cobb you don't see everyday !!

Agree that you will inevitably overpay for something sooner or later--usually with a card quite high on the want list that you haven't seen for quite while, and then, after you've bought it, several better examples/deals come out. But if it's rare and significant, time will most likely make you more than whole, and I wouldn't waste much time worrying about it!
