I hate to do this but I need to sell one of these two Cobbs soon to help pay for a card I just bought. (not for sale yet, but soon) |

...on Cobb's face in the green portrait, I'd keep the red. Otherwise, close call. You're unlikely to find such a nice 3 again, but a Green in that condition should be attainable again. |

Red. Just me, but condition is an important factor for me. I would hold out for a better green. |

I think the red Cobb is better looking than your green one. |

if the scratch is not as bad as it looks...I'd keep the green one. you could also sell both and then re-buy one you may like better down the road. there common and prices seem to have stabilised! |

"Both cards are equally rare . . . The Green Portrait Cobb is priced higher because it is more popular." |

Anthony--is that a slight scuff to the right Cobb's collar (Red)? Think the Green will fetch a bit more, personally would keep that one over the Red. If the Red's a Sweet Cap or Pied. back, think (again personally) I'd definitely peddle that one... |

no dave, that is a glare from the psa holder...there is a very faint surface crease on the front only, upper left corner...i just got the red a few weeks ago, then just mailed payment for a more rare card that cost 4x as much, so i am just trying to recoop some of the cost, i'm leaning toward the red...and for information purposes only, my collection is being narrowed down to about 20 cards, i now just need the '14-'15 cracker jack joe jackson...this is the only reason i will be parting with the green cobb (if thats my final answer! i mean decision) |

I'd keep red. While greens may be more highly sought, I think condition remains supreme. Red suits Cobb's temperament better anyway. |

There are just way too many t206's of Cobb lying around, and if you really like the image - go for a T213 red portrait or bat off if you're into sunsets. Coupons are much much tougher in total numbers surviving and I think a far better long term keeper. |

I still have a tough time understanding the use of the word "rare" when it comes to cards versus anything else in the collectibles marketplace. I've always considered something "rare" to be something that is hard to find, not just "desirable". It would be something that may come available once in a blue moon, maybe with one to three known examples in existance, irregardless of the minute differences in their condition. |

Peter...I'm going to have to disagree with you. Any of the T206's Cobbs IMO could hardly be considered rare or scarce. There were justt too many produced and I don't think anyone knowingly threw away too many Cobbs from the T206 set. Now a D355 Niagara Baking card...that's rare, maybe even bordering on scarce. |

Peter- I thought it was the other way around- cards which 10-30 exist are scarce, cards which 1-5 exist are rare. |

still undecided but leaning towards the red cobb, i am only keeping one of the cards based on appearance of the card and the player. not at all whether the card is rare, scare or desirable. the cards i chose to keep happen to be sought after by a lot of collector but by no means are they rare or scare...i think that everyone is just holding onto them. i have an 1895 mayo cap anson that has a major crease across it but i like the way the card (and the player) presents, like my willard chocolate's ty cobb in the favorite horizontal thread. not a high grade or very expensive card but i like the appearance of the card...thank you for everyones opinion...its make for very interesting reading...you will see the (losing) cobb for sale by summer |

Dave did you just say Niagra baking is rare maybe bordering on scarce??? Try one of the most difficult frickin sets to exist! Ask Leon,it one of a handful of cards he still doesnt have for his typeset (as far as i know). and i know hes willing to shell out some major cash/trade bait for one! |
