Here is one of those unexpected wins that often occurs when throwing bids in on eBay. It's not that I didn't want this beautiful addition to my modest Ty Cobb Collection -- I very much did -- I just never thought I would actually win the dang thing. Cobb items rarely stay affordable and it was being auctioned off by PWCC prior to their eBay banning. Lady luck was on my side that day and for less than the price of your average mid-end hobby box another vintage gem found its way to me.
You can see why it stayed affordable with the massive scissors work some child did to this over the last hundred years or so.
