The top is concerning. I would pay the P-F price. Darn nice looking cobby.

jamie,

that is an awesome looking cobby.
too difficult to say if it is trimmed by the scans provided.


I would say.... assume it is trimmed and bid accordingly.
you should have ample opportunity to buy another red cobby...
so why chance getting pissed by overpaying for a trimmed card?

if it measures properly...you may be ok...top and rt looks a tad suspicious to me. nice card! who cares if it's a little trimmed...lots of slabbed cards are?

If you are suspicious, why even consider it. Seems silly. At that point just buy a PSA 4 for the same price.

Peter, how can you measure properly a T206? I have about 20 different legit sizes in my set that was compiled in the 1970s. Dan.

dan, I suppose you're right and I realize there are acceptable tolerances in size w/t206 and I've had numerous smaller cards I know are not altered...but wouldn't grade as well...but it seems to me most t206's are pretty close to the recognized 2 5/8 x 1 7/16...but you are right size is no litmus test.

Looks good enough to me... but that isn't to say some grading outfit won't deem it trimmed.

I lack the red background Cobb. If whoever has it is frustrated with an inability of getting it graded, then they need to contact me about a possible sale. Nice looking card.

I think it just has a diamond cut to it which is why it is a bit slanted in the holder on the reverse scan. Looks good to me.
