Posted By: <b>Steve F</b><p>The top is concerning. I would pay the P-F price. Darn nice looking cobby.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>jamie,<br><br>that is an awesome looking cobby.<br>too difficult to say if it is trimmed by the scans provided.<br><br><br>I would say.... assume it is trimmed and bid accordingly.<br>you should have ample opportunity to buy another red cobby...<br>so why chance getting pissed by overpaying for a trimmed card?<br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>if it measures properly...you may be ok...top and rt looks a tad suspicious to me. nice card! who cares if it's a little trimmed...lots of slabbed cards are?

Posted By: <b>George L</b><p>If you are suspicious, why even consider it. Seems silly. At that point just buy a PSA 4 for the same price.

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>Peter, how can you measure properly a T206? I have about 20 different legit sizes in my set that was compiled in the 1970s. Dan.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>dan, I suppose you're right and I realize there are acceptable tolerances in size w/t206 and I've had numerous smaller cards I know are not altered...but wouldn't grade as well...but it seems to me most t206's are pretty close to the recognized 2 5/8 x 1 7/16...but you are right size is no litmus test.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Looks good enough to me... but that isn't to say some grading outfit won't deem it trimmed.<br><br>I lack the red background Cobb. If whoever has it is frustrated with an inability of getting it graded, then they need to contact me about a possible sale. Nice looking card.

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>I think it just has a diamond cut to it which is why it is a bit slanted in the holder on the reverse scan. Looks good to me.
