The Wentz Bros. Open Their Vault

[Yoda]

I am sure that all card hawks have seen that BMW has just listed a T206 Cobb bat off GAI 6.5 with an UZIT reverse. This card has kicked around the hobby for a while and has been with them for quite some time, I think, and perhaps they felt, with the T206 mania for rare backs still blazing away, it was time to resurrect Tyrus. A couple of thoughts:
1. The eye-watering price tag of $125,000, which I suppose is normal for them. But you can make an offer!
2. Why is this card still in a GAI holder? I always thought BMW preferred SGC above all others.
3. Is some of the type or ink missing from the bottom middle letters of Detroit? My eyes aren't that good. John

If it's real, that's a nice card!

If a card is still in a GAI holder these days, most likely the card is altered, trimmed or even fake.

Look's real to me though. Maybe a expert can chime in and see if it's been altered.

Merry Christmas,

The auction says it was graded by GAI in 2002, right after the company started. That's as good as any PSA or SGC certification in my opinion.

Why not switch it to a reputable company?????
