T206 Ty Cobb Drum Back on eBay
gentlemen-
submitted for your collective opinions: this card is currently being auctioned on ebay by just collect with a starting bid of $12.5 k... upon researching, look what i discovered in my personal archives... i find it somewhat amusing that the top edge of the most recent incarnation has undergone a century of wear in a few scant years! comments...?

Somebody worked the top of that card trying to get it into a numbered holder.

i thought at first it was paper loss too...
but concluded that it had to be instead, paper residue...

OK, paper residue makes more sense.. I was wondering if someone actually glued a little patch on!?!?

Good to see PSA got the grade right on this one. I feel the starting bid is a little high. Should have been started around $8000 but even 12.5K is a bargain compared to the PSA 2 (MK) of this card that sold for $28,048.

Consignor
It would be interesting if Just Collect would release the name of the consignor. Might open up a can of worms.

Did someone really think thay were going to get that slabbed with a number? It's a horrible and obvious hack job.

Sad how far some will go to try and make a buck.

I agree on the sadness.... But PSA invited these people in the minute they graded that Wagner an 8.

Looks to me like color added top right corner.

St Louis find?
It looks like the top of the card has been trimmed. Does anyone know if this card is from the St. Louis find of Drums from a few years ago where a lot of the cards were trimmed across the top? If so, does anyone know what it sold for back then?

If you don't want to assume the worst about people I humbly offer a more generous explanation:
Perhaps the owner of the card didn't like the aesthetic of such a modern edge on a 100 year old card and purposely worked the corners so it would look less shocking to the eye. If we want to give him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he even told this to PSA when submitting and wouldn't have accepted a numerical grade. |

Even if not for resale, I don't like it. If you don't like the way the card looks, don't buy it. To buy it and then "correct" a problem, IS a problem. Last edited by Jaybird; 11-08-2011 at 05:29 PM. |

Profit
Not a bad 'investment'. Pay $4888, then sell it for $12,500. Someone is a clever dude. Maybe a little too clever, for my taste.
