I bought this sweet T206 Ty Cobb card with the winnings from one of my fantasy baseball leagues. It’s a PSA 2 so it’s not in the best shape but it’s clearly adequate and should display well. I prefer T206 cards with at least somewhat rare backs – Sovereign isn’t the rarest of T206 backs but it’s solid for a Ty Cobb.
I won the first best out of 3 playoff series and tied up the championship series 1 to 1 in one of my fantasy baseball leagues. In anticipation of a nice payday I’m looking to get a nicer than usual T206 card. I like buying baseball cards better than blowing winnings on something like a TV because the card is an asset that will appreciate over time. I checked eBay and have some cards in mind: John McGraw, Cy Young, Walter Johnson (portrait, I already have his other card), Tris Speaker, Christy Mathewson, and Nap Lajoie.
Here a pic of the Walter Johnson T206 card I bought on eBay with my fantasy football winnings from last season – thank you Ron Dayne! I was pretty excited that it wasn’t graded but looks like it could be - it’s in really nice shape, the corners are in good shape and only one significant crease in the upper right. It has a Sweet Caporal 350-460, Factory 42 back. Long term I think the T206 will hold it’s value better than if I just blew the cash on a new TV or something.
Buy T206 Walter Johnson baseball cards on eBay!
