Josh...You simply have a great looking T227 Cobb. The best looking vintage card today imo...nothing compares to the contrast and detail in that card. As a collector of Vintage Boxing, I have the Jack Johnson and Abe Attell cards in lower (poor) grade condition, and although they look nice, the Cobb is the nicest of them all.

I do think the graded vs. ungraded agruments get old after a while. I think the answer lies somewhere in the middle though. I do have a former student of mine who has a beautiful near-mint, mint to mint (8 or 9) run of late 50's and 60's football sets ungraded perfectly maintained. He never heard of PSA, and he thought Beckett was the main (and therefore the best) grading company out there.

The world doesn't revolve around the graded card industry.
