All in all, the top three tpgs are pretty consistent, if I'm buying an ex5, I have a good idea what I'm gonna get as opposed to a 2 or 3. Its pretty rare to see a 2 or 3 in a 5 slab. I know there are examples of that, but overall few compared to the ones they get right.

If you bought the Huggins recent lot of EX5 SGC 60s (33) total, then you bought about 8 blatantly trimmed cards that are slabbed SGC 60. I personnally viewed this lot with another guy who eats, shits, and breathes graded cards. Paper cutter dog earred cards in 60 holders. I guess these are old mistakes as well?
David, yes that Cobb card shows a crease in that scan, I will correct the scan, the card is currently crease free as I state.
And yes, I can grade cards, I have been looking at them 42 years and have watched the grades change. How long have you been grading cards?
And of course, I always accept returns and if you will notice, i didn't assign a grade to the Cobb.
Jim Rivera saw the Brunswick find, I guess he can't grade cards either??
