cool story. this guy goes into attics in winter, reaching into holes in walls and floors trying to find stuff. other guys complain because their ebay searches get clogged up with stuff they're not interested in.

I'd be afraid to look in my attic.... I bet I'd find an Anson in Uniform N172 that was eaten by termites and then I'd find all the frigging termites....

That is just too cool of a find....

I hate being the pessimist but I just don't believe this. All this stuff found in holes in the walls in an otherwise clean space and it just happens to be a Croft's Cobb. Of all the cards it could've been, someone shoved a Cobb in a hole in a wall 100 years ago? And no other cards? The owner had one card and it was Cobb? I hope it's true and legit and the guy has a real Cobby, I just don't believe it right at the moment.

He claims it will be sent in for grading/authenticating so we will see I guess. He could be making up the story about where it was found but not sure what he has to gain from that.

too lazy to actually measure, but card and top loader look out of proportion (too large) to the sheet of paper in the picture where they are being held.
