Default T206 Cobb Graded a 7 by Pro on Ebay

Posted By: T206Collector

My three favorite things about this listing:

a) The bidding is well over $1,000;
b) Even if the card is not trimmed or altered, the corners and speck of paper loss on the front make that a VG-EX card at best;
c) The seller says he will not apologize for PRO; because
d) He submitted cards that came back even too short for PRO to grade (how about that?!)

Even without paper loss, those corners make that card vg/ex. It is probably just grossly overgraded.

So ... all's well that ends well, I guess. Buyers bid on the card, not the holder, and it ended up right about where a VGEX should have.

I don't know that I agree. The card sold for $1500 in a PRO holder which means it's most likely trimmed, altered, etc. Obviously, why would anyone submit to PRO when it could be graded by a reputable service? Look at the following recent ebay sales:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8821453023>
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8817446599>

Each of these sales were for PSA 4s of the Cobb red back; they sold for a bit more and a bit less than the PRO card and yet, in my mind, they both look a lot nicer than the PRO Cobb which is most likely altered. So why spend $1500 on the PRO card when you can get a better looking one for the same price in a more reputable holder - without the paper loss on the front?

Correct - all good points. I was assuming unaltered - general price for vg-ex regardless of shopping around. But Pro holders are a little suspect. It didn't get the price increase of a 7, but also didn't take the hit for the brand name.
