Default Are these Cobbs Trimmed?

Posted By: James Gallo

A good deal of the lots had some really beat cards, but there were some nice ones as well. The two beat Cobbs went for $325 Red Port and $375 batt off. Plus the 20% BP I think you could have bought a nicer already graded example and not dealt with the risk of cards being trimmed.

I am not super familiar with this issue and I certainly didn't measure the cards, but if I noticed some trimmed stuff you can bet there will be more of them I didn't notice.

I just think it was high risk with little to no reward. That plus almost all the lots were poorly sorted so a lot of them had doubles or even triples of the same cards. There were are least 2-3 lots with several Chance yellow portraits. Oddly enough there were multiples of some HOF and almost none of others.

It almost was fun, but having so much sell to the net really too a lot out of me. If it wasn't for all the other people not interested in the cards filling the room there would have been 10-15 people tops and we got very little.
