JKThis one is for Jay (who doesnt like to let Mastro get away with much exaggeration):
Up for preview is an e95 cobb graded a GAI 5.5. It appears to have paperloss or some other surface imperfection to the right of his face. After noting the surface "impurity", here is how Mastro goes on to describe the lot:
"we emphasize the splendid merits characterizing this survivor. Both surfaces are immaculately clean; the white borders are unimpeachable; the image is centered perfectly and, subjectively, we're particularly impressed by the exact register that this card provides. We yield to GAI's determination that this scarce Cobbian card is Excellent-plus, but at the same time, we assert that a more precision image of Ty Cobb doesn't exist in this specie."
I particularly like the last line - "a more precision image doesn't exist". I dont think they looked too hard:
