A second Ty Cobb Tobacco back card from the Lucky 7 find is coming to auction early next year.
The owner of one of the four cards graded 2.5 by PSA has consigned it to Heritage Auctions’ Winter Platinum Night sale on February 25-26.
In October, Robert Edward Auctions offered the first of the seven rare Cobb cards to be offered at public auction. The PSA 1.5 sold for $192,000.
The pre-sale estimate on the 2.5 is $300,000+. The current Sportscard Market Report value is $350,000.
Not long after the seven cards were discovered in an old paper bag early last year and quickly graded, they were placed for sale by MINT State, a South Carolina-based dealer. The highest graded example, a 4.5, sold for an undisclosed seven-figure price.
Two of the cards, a 3.5 and another 2.5 are currently being offered on eBay by MINT State.
The Heritage auction will also include a PSA 8 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle
