Pretty excited about 2x new AUTO additions to my PC, Ty Cobb & Dizzy Dean

[tglg]

Might have to curtail some of my spending I have been doing here, but I am pretty excited about getting these two cards for my private collection. Being a Cardinals fan, the Dean was a must. And with the Cobb, you gotta love it. And I really like the fact that it is the green ink, which he is famous for. Just felt like showing this morning. Thanks, Tony.

gosh darnit man u gotta love the condition of that cobby... nice pick ups man!!!

Thanks guys. The Cobb cost me a over a grand, but under fifteen. But I still considered it fairly reasonable. Here is a link to a site I found it on while searching google:

They must have been previous owners of it at one time.

It would appear that Cobb favored and/or even carried green pens with him. A great deal of his letters, checks and documents are found in green ink.

I don't know why exactly, or if that was ever questioned or explained. Maybe he just loved green. I bet a quick internet search will shed more light..."cobb green ink"

Great additions, Tony! Could you tell us a bit about Cobb signing with the green ink??? I didn't know anything about it. Thanks.

Here is a great read about Ty Cobb autos - http://www.autograph-club.org/autograph-article/ty-cobb-autographs.html

Man, I wish I would have made some donations to his charity back in the 80s. The way I read it, if you did, they sent you 2x of his cancelled checks. That is why I guess there are a lot of checks of his out there. It is a great read - check it out.

I wonder where this PSA/DNA 8 will end.....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380297579507&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I don't like it nearly as much as the one I picked up, and the cancelation holes in the check are into his name. Yesterday it was at $450, and I thought that would be a pretty good bargain. Any thoughts?

At $850 now, at this rate,you may have gotten a bargain on your PSA 9.
