After getting a signed index card of Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner on it I thought of going after one more of the 5 original HOFers. Love the history of this piece and how it includes transferring stock to his daughter. Thanks for looking and any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks everyone. For some reason I have been enjoying picking up old autos that are not cut up and put in cards. Weird I know but really like seeing the entire piece and history of the auto.

That's cool. It looks nice, too- no shame in displaying that one, that's for sure!

Thanks. I thought it was a different and really cool piece to collect as I work on getting all 5 of the original HOFers autos.

Anytime you can tie an autograph to something that was actually a part of the individuals life, that just adds to the wow factor. Outstanding piece!

Very interesting piece! I love vintage autos as well and this one is unique to say the least.

Thank you for the nice compliments. Another interesting thing was the JSA authentication said two Cobb signatures on the back. I finally figured out Ty signed his daughter Beverley's name on the certificate as well.

One last questions guys. I looked at auctions for these Cobb stock certificates and the prices are all over. Two that are identical to mine in the condition and company went for 2k and 4 k. One in not really good condition went for $893 on eBay. One coco cola certificate went for over 11k. I understand the Coke one given the company but I was able to get mine for a BO of $925. I only see there have been 4 of my type of stock certificate to sell over the years. Maybe there is less demand and the people bidding on the other ones at a much higher price no longer want one? Just seems unusual and maybe someone here as a better explanation. Thanks for any help.
