I had a nice long, well written post and somehow it disappeared? Oh well. Anyway, here is a raw card I got from an heir of the person that collected it originally, while working at Rogers Peet, when they were issued. They were in his dresser draw from then until a few years ago, as the story goes. These are still raw but others I got at the same time came back mostly 8's, and a little better. I think/hope (knock on wood) this Cobby will get at least an 8 too. Oh, and this is how, in a rare instance, there can be mint type cards
