Leon, that's just another of the plethora of near-mint T206's that have popped up over the last ten years after spending 90+ years in various shoeboxes.

Default Hey Leon

If it was an AMERICAN BEAUTY, it would be "fat". But, it's a SWEET CAP, so it is "emaciated"

Serious question....Are you saying that Cobb is trimmed? Maybe it's the scan or my screen, but it looks good to me. Dave
ps For 10K a back scan would be nice!

Yes, the borders appear to be thin..I would assume the back is nice. If this was an 8 in one of the legit TPG holders it would be worth much more than the opener.

Looks funny. Although if some liposuction was performed by a good surgeon then it would explain the weight loss?

Funny how he boasts GAI's "early stages" as if that is a good thing. If I was to trust anything by them, it would be recently graded stuff.

Maybe a more talented card doctor could get it into a legit holder. There's still a chance for this Cobb to hit registry status!

Having said that, I think I'm dreaming in Technicolor expecting a dealer to agree to such terms since he'd have to foot the bill for an unsuccessful grade.
