Ty Cobb t206 Cobb back signed and authenticated

Does this exist?

If so, what would it be worth?

Holy grail of auto'ed cards?

If not, what would be?

Is five questions too many?

There are no known autographed Cobb back cards.

I think it would actually be worth less autographed than non-autographed. It is such a rare card, and sells for tens of thousands of dollars in poor shape.

There is a value for which an autograph on a card does not add [much] incremental value.

I do think autographed cabinet cards would be quite extraordinary. An autographed Ed Delahanty Old Judge cabinet would go for some serious coin, as would any autographed Harry Wright cabinet.

I know for a fact there are at least one T206 with a Cobb autograph on it. And would think there should be more because he was around for a long time and signed a lot.

Now if you can find one with a Matty auto on it think that would bring in more then any other.

There are a few T206 Cobb front's that I've seen autographed. However, I've never seen one autographed that also had the Ty Cobb tobacco brand back. I opened this thread hoping to see one, but alas, it was not to be.

My bad should of read the topic and opened my mouth to early.

no no such card
easy answer as there are only a dozen or so cards. Cobb lived well into the autograph collecting Era, at least 30+ years worth... his sig is common for the Era.

A T206 Wagner signed would blow it away IMO, and obviously be the most valuable ... duh

A Rube Waddell signed HH Bregstone Postcard would be my holy grail, or a 1909 Cabanas Pete Hill signed lol, but those are pipe dreams

There is a Lajoie signed '33 Goudey that's pretty incredible.

Seriously doubt it. I think there are only around 8 known Cobb back cards to begin with and none of them are signed.
