The old saying is "you can't judge a book by its cover." You don't know what's on the inside, simply by looking at the outside.

The T206 set of cards, printed between 1909 and 1911, also known as 'White Boarders", were printed by the American Tobacco Trust. The Cobb card is the second rarest of the 520 card set, behind only the Honus Wagner card, which was discontinued per Wagner because he did not believe in the use of tobacco products. Only 7 Wagner cards are known to exist today, and a Wagner card in good condition recently sold for over $2.1 million. Prior to the find of the 7 Cobb cards, there were only about 15 known to still exist.
