Hi, everybody. I'm an occasional poster, but I mostly lurk, read and learn. |

Sources such as Larry Fritsch and other people who were dealers at the time and advertising in National Media. |

Probably would have bought the card through an ad in the Sports Collector Digest (SCD) or a local card show. |

....my 15 or 16 year old friend purchased an (obviously raw) EX-MT Christy Mathewson T206 portrait from an ad in Sports Collector's Digest. This would have been 1988 or 1989. I believe he paid about $400 for it. A VG Cobb would probably have sold for a little less -- maybe $200 to $300, though I really have no means for comparison. |

I was selling T206's in the 1980's and I would guess a red Cobb VG might have been in the $90-120 range and Ex in the $175-200 range. Doing this strictly from memory. |

but best bet is he was a subscriber to the SCD. Most of us were in those days and bought mostly from that source. My guess on the Cobb (even before I read Pauls) is $250.00. |

...completely outdone by my friend, I purchased a 1933 Goudey Grove (which now is in an SGC 60 holder) for $225 at a show at Pier 92 in Manhattan in March 1989. I was 15 years old. Not sure if that is at all helpful.... |

Maybe in 1980 but in the later years of the 80's they were going for more. |

i would agree with barry on red cobb price in the early 1980's.....more as the decade wore on....but $80-$125 sounds right. |

Fair enough- sometime during that decade I was selling VG's for $90- but perhaps by 1989 it was higher. But didn't Rob say the story was taking place early to mid-eighties? |
