Already posted in the REA and Cobb threads but this beauty arrived on Thursday and I was blown away at how nice this card actually is in person. The pictures really don't do it justice.

I have always wanted a great looking CJ Cobb without breaking the bank and this card has more than surpassed what I ever expected to find.

This card has four sharp corners, near perfect centering and bright bold beautiful colors and fits like a glove in the holder. The card was taken from a scrap book and has just a small minor area where the print and card back was lightened when removed from the book but doesn't show even a trace of paper loss.

I was actually surprised it received an altered label because it's an extremely small area on the back where just six letters appear to have been lightly traced over leaving a slightly green hue. I thought this could have possibly even garnered a numerical grade with a MK qualifier.

With the amount of card doctoring that has taken place in the hobby, i would much rather have a beautiful example like this rather than a questionable card sitting in a high grade holder at a hell of a lot higher price.
