Here are stock images of the Cobb and Jackson.

There's a Jackson on eBay right now at $85,000 BIN/BO: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350431084429

Steal?

Nice list, I knew of most of these but its good to see a list of them in order like that.

Best deal was the PSA-2 T206 Wagner, Worst deal was the R323 DiMaggio

There are quite a few private transactions for single baseball cards for over 150k. I know of several personally. Some were 19th century cards and some were 20th Century cards. I am only talking pre-WWII, as I don't keep up with more modern cards. I would venture to guess there are as many unreported (publicly) as there are reported. regards

Agreed, with such high final value fees, people would prefer not to pay an auction house or ebay, so they do deal on side. Thats why there are probably more honus wagner t-206's then believed, the cards in a safe and not spoken about, like the one the nuns just sold, or side transactions that dont get reported.
