Greg knows his stuff. So does SGC. It's interesting, because even with the card in the holder there's CLEARLY an issue with that corner, definitely not something that would have been missed - and definitely not something that would have been missed if Greg submitted it and brought it to SGC's attention. I guess the question is whether its an alteration or simply a bad corner that took an otherwise EX-MT or NMT card down to just EX.

Interesting that there's such a difference of opinion from two entities that are so knowledgeable.

Greg, did you take the card out of the holder and examine that corner? From your description, I'm guessing you think the corner was rebuilt. Could it be a tear on the back? I've had some T206s where the chipping at the top edge of the back is so pronounced that it manifests itself almost like a tear. I've never seen it on a corner before, though. Many T206s seem to have chipping on the back of the top edge to one degree or another - is it possible that's what it is?

Either way, it's a shame. It's a gorgeous card. I know it's really common, but that's my favorite T206 Cobb.
