The 2nd Cobb to grade an 8 came after PSA has graded 727 total cards. Now they are at 1496 and they are still at just 2 PSA-8's. It is indeed odd that no other T3 or T9 has reached an 8, thats 125 other cards. But both of the Ty Cobb 8's are 8 worthy, and the last one sold via na Mastro auction and fetched $90+K. The scan showed how flawless the card is. The other I saw first hand at the National in Cleveland. It looked perfect. If either were overgraded, there would have been someone to complain about it.and I've yet to hear a word about that.
There has also been speculation that 1 of the PSA-8 Cobb's was initially in a GAI-9 holder, but I can't confirm that.
Also out of all 126 subjects, Cobb has the most graded w/ 28 total cards.
It is indeed a coincidence. PSA has graded 18 PSA-7's and none are Cobb's...jay
