TBobI am searching for a prior scan of the Cobb prior to submission. It is unbelievable that someone would suggest I didn't NOTICE the mark on the card. Give me a break. I don't care what SGC's policy is, just because a policy exists doesn't mean that it is followed 100% of the time. The SGC explanation for the card not being graded was not "ink writing on the card" it was for "erasure". That is the written explanation. On the hard holder there is a black circle which surrounds the "e" and then it says "erasure." I knew there would be some way to try and avoid responsibility. It is an awfully huge coincidence that the ink mark just happens to be in the shape of an "E", that it just coincidentally happens to be in the exact spot where the erasure is alleged to have occurred and that the explanation is no grade because of erasure. Coincidence? Uh-uh. I sent 2 E94s Cobb to be graded. One made it, one didn't. Neither had any markings on them. The only card I have in my collection with an ink mark on it is a T207 Lowdermilk which has a tiny word "rare" in ink on the back in an open space. Strangely enough that card was graded by....SGC.
1) I didn't fall off the watermelon truck.
2) As an attorney I know exactly what my legal recourses are and what compensation should be due.
Bob- The ball is in your court. I have fellow collectors who have seen my Cobb without the red "E" unless you think that I decided to add the letter before sending it in to enhance the value of the card.
