Is this a stamp on the back of this Cobb ?
 

Posted By: <b>scott ingold</b><p>The green Cobb i won has this stamp on the back. At least i think it is. Would this be the reason for the grade ? From the front it appears to be a solid 3.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1130021588.JPG"><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1130021597.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Don J</b><p>I believe SGC's policy on writing on the back boils down to this:<br />1 line of text: Best Grade: SGC 30<br />2 lines of text: Best Grade: SGC 20<br />3 or more lines of text: Best Grade SGC 10<br />Doesn't matter how nice the card is otherwise on the front; a card's other attributes can bring the grade down from a 30 or 20 as well.<br /><br />In looking at the stamp on the back of the Green Cobb; it looks like they counted the initials as three distinct lines of text.
