T206 Green Cobb Holiday Grade Guessing Game w/ Prize
 

Bought this last week. Sent overnight to SGC and it popped today.

Guess what SGC graded it?

Choices:

-Not slabbed for whatever reason
- A
- (-1) lol
- (0) lol
- 1
-1.5
-2
-2.5
-3
-3.5
-4

I'll post the results Wed Night on this thread. 1st 2 correct choices will win something in my house.

Winners could could get a chair......my cat......some food.....but most likely will be collectible related but nothing too fancy! :)

Will message the winners for addresses when I post the results. It was graded by PSA as a 1 (miscut) MC so thats like a (Negative 1 I think?) lol

PS No editing your answers please! Thanks!

Peace and happy holidays! Mike

Hard to really read the card in the photos. Did you crack it out of the PSA holder before sending (if not, that may have helped).

I assume it came back a 1.

I'll say they did not slab it.

I'll guess that they wouldn't slab it for whatever reason.

I'm going with 2, because nobody else is.

Hi Mike, Merry Christmas and I'm not interested in the chair.

Sorry....
 

I suck at photos, I'm sorry, there is nothing you are missing on the photos, a few creases, a bit off center, Back ok. Take a shot!

Thanks! Mike

Sorry!
 

Hey buddy!

Like I told Pat, I suck at photos! lol

Yes I did break it out. I felt it deserved an honest chance!

:) Mike

Frank!
 

Thanks buddy and always glad to hear from you! If you win maybe I'll make you

"Chairman of the Board" lol

:)

Peace and Happy Holidays Frank!

Mike,

Good move cracking it out. I think knowing that, I may chance my answer...

If it came back only a "1", doubt you would think it's worthy of it's own thread. So either came back altered, or an unexpectedly high grade.

I'll say it graded a "2.5".

2.5. Not selected so far.

Chad

Since this guy ^^^ shares my thinking.....lets be more optimistic and choose 3.

Guess SGC 2

Big Mike hope you are well Sir. I`ll say "4" and if that`s the right answer send me one of your old fruitcakes that are laying around the house. P S in a Christmas Tin would be an added bonus !!

1.5

Sgc 3

OK I will guess a A if its a good prize.

I will guess an 8 if the prize is a toilet seat or hairbrush or something like that.

Sgc 1

I guess 1.5

Since all of the numbers that might actually be correct are taken, in an effort to win Mike's cat, I'll guess 3.

SGC 3.5 :)

But my real thoughts are it looks more like a 1.5 than a 1 to me.

1.18

At least no one has guessed that yet.

Sgc 1.5

I'll go with "Not Slabbed - Evidence of Trim"

I will guess 1

1.5

the suspense is killing me, Mike Pop. Your name is your destiny. I'm very happy it popped for you. Popsicle king. My guess is that it's an old card, A.

Your name is your destiny.

1.5

They no longer slab t206 cards...no slab

:)
 

Blatant Myth Ted!

Trust me, they do slab T206 cards still! Hint! :)

Mike

1.8?!
 

That made me smile!

I admire the gusto!

:)

Meow.....
 

Here kitty kitty! :)

:eek:

:)
 

Robert,

I'll put you down for an 8!

:)

I will say Authentic Altered.

Why? I don't know jack about card grading.

I'm going with the new qualifier (TR) trimmed with numerical grade. 1.5(TR)

1

Sgc 1.5

2

2.5, but only because 1.18 was already taken.

guess
 

3.5

Drum roll.......
 

Plenty of great guesses! Just got this beauty from Fedex. So to recap, this card was on Ebay about a week ago as a PSA 1 MC. I bought it and the seller overnighted it to me. Within an hour of receipt, I overnighted it to SGC. Just got back from SGC so literally a 1 week journey inclusive! Not bad!

Here we go.......

So........
 

Usually 2 "John's don't make a right"........except in this game!

John Hanssen (Nebboy) was the first winner with SGC 1.5
John Perez (Aloondilana) was the second winner with SGC 1.5

Some others were right on but a little late! Congrats! Please PM me if you won and send me your address! Thanks!

Boom! Love that tuxedo! :)

Nice cross over - nice looking card


PS - cat lover here - hint hint

:)
 

Thanks John! Congrats! Please PM your mailing address!

Mike

SGC 1.5, or possibly E=MC squared.

lol
 

My cat is pretty smart and must have got wind of my nefarious plans......so

you can't have the cat. She is hiding.

I'll send you something else on Thursday! :)

Peace, Mike

Bingo!
 

John,

Another John? Oh my!

Genius guess (no pun intended) AFTER I posted the results!

I like the Einstein reference! :)

:cool:

Peace, Mike

guess
 

I'll guess A as well, SGC seems to just grade every t card "A" :-(

1.5......
 

If you sent this to CSG, could it have gotten a 1.8?




(graded comic reference)

Possible....
 

Eric,

Just called their customer service hot line and although anything is possible, it appears they do not grade anything that is green. I asked them to clarify and they said they had some issues when they graded the "Grinch" Rookie Comic book and a small batch of previously undiscovered "Fried Green Tomatoes" hence their reluctance to the "Verte" color scheme! I guess the tomatoes made a mess in the CGC holder when sealed! :)

:)

Peace, Mike

Nice work cracking it out and resending!

It seems like that is the way to go if you can take a qualified PSA slab (miscut, mark, etc) and get it slabbed by SGC. Even if they hadn't upped it from a 1(miscut) to 1.5, you still might have just gotten a straight 1 back, which may carry more value than a 1 with qualifier from PSA.

Great eye to see its true inner beauty lurking behind that 1(MC) facade!!

Bingo.....
 

If I had not seen your name attached to this post, I could have sworn I wrote it! PERFECT! So true about the "facade".

Basically they are trying to tell advanced collectors that not only is your slabbed card just a 1 but on top of that, it is miscut.......when our eyes can clearly make the determination if a card is REALLY miscut or if some grader THINKS it is miscut. lol

Well said Charles!

Peace, Mike

PS The incredible image of Mr. Doby appears to be a bit miscut as his cap is almost touching the top border of the pic! lol GREAT pic btw! Incredible smile on him! Love it!

Thanks for the compliment on the Doby pic. You must be grinning ear to ear too after your re-slabbing in the new tuxedo. Again, well done sir.

Received a nice package with a generous gift. Thank you ever so much.

PS - I’m also ex HHC infantry - Big Red 1

Awesome!
 

Thanks for your service John and glad you got your goodies!!

Peace, Mike

SGC uploaded pics a bit late but here they are!
 

Pretty nice 1.5 i'd say! :)

Thanks for all the guesses and the comments and these pics are from SGC and I could not make them any bigger! On my pic and on Ebay when I bought it as a PSA 1 (MC), the green looked faded but it is bright just like the pics below! The back is super clean also! Buy the card......... not the holder! :)
