T206 Green Cobb - Why OC?
Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Have others noticed that a large percentage of T206 Green Cobbs are OC top to bottom? Any theories about why? Was it perhaps on the top row of a sheet?<br />JImB<br /><br /><img src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/4642/t206cobbgreencutzm9.jpg">

Posted By: <b>scott brockelman</b><p>sheet position on the bottom edge would explain it. IF they were from a horizontal strip, the cutting process was off at the beginning and continued to cut each OC<br /><br />Scott

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Not trying to hijack - maybe related - but I have noticed that Chesbro's also seem to be OC T/B. With Chesbro, it's often the bottom border that is smaller and the name either crowds the border or is sometimes slightly off completely.<br /><br />I have no clue about which backs are like that, or which Chesbro even comes with. Just have noticed that there seem to be a lot with small bottom borders.<br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>Vincent</b><p>. . . or does the length of Joe's SCG-70 Cobb (Green background) seem unusually long, compared to the other examples with ample bottom borders posted? To me, the bottom border of Joe's example is very similar to Rob. L's and Scot Reader's examples, but the upper border is considerably larger. I realize there is some variation in the cut size on T206 cards, but Joe's almost seems excessive. Regardless, it's still a beautiful card. Maybe it's time for me to get those eyeglasses my wife has been suggesting for all these years.

Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p><br />Joe's example is definitely taller. A small percentage of T206s were produced that way.

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>Just scanned a bunch of Green Cobb's from various sources. All 5 O/C (to the top border) are Piedmont 150<br /> cards. All the centered Cobb's are either Piedmont 350, Sovereign, and Sweet Caporal. Therefore, my initial<br /> observation with my Piedmont 150 green Cobb appears to be a consistent pattern.<br /><br />TED Z<br /><br />Incidently....BEWARE....there is a "fake" Green Cobb with a NO-NO Tolstoi back on Ebay (lot #120132312536)

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Why the low grade on yours? Back damage or something. That is sharp looking for the grade.

T206 Green Cobb - Why OC?
Posted By: <b>Dean H</b><p>Dave, the card does have glue on the back. As you can see it is almost undetectable unless you tilt the card at an angle under bright light. Even then it is still hard to see. I have already been "encouraged" by several people to crack the card out and try to get the glue removed. It is easily an high end 4 with out the glue. But it will remain a 2 since I'm completely happy as it stands. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1181862644.JPG">
