Tale of Two Green Cobbies(REA)

[ullmandds]

I was just cruising REA to make sure I'm in where I want to be...and I noticed this oversized green cobby...graded 70 by SGC...and it is a beauty. I was a little shocked by the current price...$22K.

Moving along...I then came across this green cobby graded ex-mt by PSA...and it is at $14 K.

I just thought this was...interesting!

The centering on the expensive one is better. Don't know that it's a PSA vs SGC thing at all.

At least a couple bidders have fallen in love with those huge borders, but $22k, yeesh!

I like the big bordered one twice as much as the psa 6....

And Kevin, don't you think that was kind of a rude comment?

Thanks for the look-see on my favorite White Border, Peter. Very nice. And I do like the wide bordered card for its registration. Buy the card...

OK, got popcorn, Dots and Dr Pepper. Carry on.

Well, I do.
Yours was a mean comment out of left field. Next time he does that to you PM me. Otherwise, please cut the crap out.

Oh, and I am not stirring the pot, only calling out what I see as unnecessary rudeness.

Maybe someday moneybags Kevin will buy the sgc 70 after it's been cut down to size and reholstered by good old PSA as a 7.

I always have to laugh when an SGC card actually outsells a similarly graded PSA card this board often goes crazy promoting the sale but ignores the countless PSA sales that crush SGC numbers every single day. This oversized card probably went to a card doctor and will reemerge the correct size. I hope I am wrong and it was just purchased by a well heeled collector who fell in love with the big borders but I have been around long enough that I am skeptical.

The SGC is better visually, but NOT for nearly 2x the price imo.

[ullmandds]

my intent wasn't to start another "discussion" about PSA/SGC so much as to highlight the "large" sums of $$$$$$ difference between similar cards...despite the grade.

but I am sure we will see this card again...and it will be shorter!!!!

Pete, BINGO!!

In my opinion, I bet the winner thinks they can trim down the card, and try to get it in a high grade slab. This has never been done before...correct?

Cynic.

Well, atleast I know where to put my oversized 'red' cobb double print name, if I were to sell it.

mmmmmm, the borders on that SGC Cobb are so fat and juicy. Reminds me of a really nice, thick crust pizza

[Touch'EmAll]

The PSA 6 green Cobb is no better than 80-20 centering bottom/top, maybe even 85-15. Thats the tale for me.

The SGC fat boarder Cobb - question: would it fit in a PSA slab with interior edge grooves? Or they would probably oversize interior pocket it with that extra cello?
