Here me out. I am a coin and currency guy, mixed it up a few years back with my box of 20 approach ( as you can see in a here. Now that was short lived and got out with only a few bumps and bruises, but I am here for a completely different reason and need your advice.
I am about done dispersing of the coin collection my wife and I assembled and have moved to other avenues of investments for the future. The lats of the coins is being sold off this week, nothing huge. We still are strong in paper, especially national bank notes and Legal Tender notes, but with the marked down as low as 90% in some areas we are strong buyers. My wifes B-Dy is coming up and when I asked what she wanted, she said the card sh wishes we never sold out of the 20 (I like the Jordan rookie rookie) but it is is her B-Day so I figured we could use the last coin money and get the Cobb.
I forgot what little I knew except PSA is the only option I will spend the money on. We are looking at maybe $2,000 so were not going to be getting a PSA 8 either. If memory serves there were 4 versions (color of shirt? Bat on or off shoulder) We don't have t spend all $2K and maybe get a Jordan also.
So with all sarcasm aside, what card should I get and in what price range should a fair price be? Is eBay the best place or a preferred board member here?
I should have held the box of 20 out of principle, but it did help pay for some nice land here in the "Great Loan Star State", so I can't complain. $1000-$$2000 what am I buying and it DOES have to be a T-206.
Thanks Guys

I am DEFINITELY not an expert, but those are your four choices. Recent eBay prices show that you can probably get the following (Piedmont and Sweet Caporal back):
Green background - PSA 3 for around $1,750 to $2,100
Red background - PSA 4 for around $1,600 to $1,780
Bat off shoulder - PSA 4 for around $1,775 to $2,032
Bat on shoulder - PSA 4 for around $1,594 to $1,835
I hope your wife has a happy birthday!

But, the Red has an artistic quality like the Mona Lisa...is he smiling there or not?
