Jeff-that is a beautiful piece--congratulations on having it. That said, let me understand the grading process--PSA charges $4k to put a card in a holder using the same effort and materials that they would charge $25 for if the card was lower value. They've abrogated their responsibility to grade the card by saying any postal used postcard, what the card was made for, is an A. Finally, for Cobb just signing his first name they grade the signature a 9. If he had signed his full name would they have given it an 18? I have a nice 1915 Boston team card that was postal used. Rather than giving it to PSA I'll give it to CGC and save a lot of money. They may even take the effort to decide what number grade it deserves.What a crazy thought!
