T206 Red Cobb SGC 60/Altered? on eBay

[whycough]

I've never seen a listing (by grays) like this before. Wonder what you people think of this. Read the entire listing, please. Most interesting.

that's bizarre! it looks trimmed to me. i'm a little surprised that sgc didn't make this right?

It is a beautiful card, despite the corner in question. If it measures up to par, I'm not surprised it got a 60.

Kind of a hilarious listing. It sounds like the seller has a major axe to grind with SGC and is selling the card solely to bash SGC. After all, the card normally sells for much less than the BIN price he has listed; so if the card is advertised as altered wouldn't it be worth less than the average selling price instead of 30% MORE? Finally, the card was just recently bought from a B & L auction. Perhaps Leon or Scott can talk about the provenance of the card.

Jeff - I was thinking similarly - maybe he's trying to use the listing to leverage a buyback from SGC; that would explain the high BIN.

Perhaps the focus should be not on the seller's motive for giving such a candid description, but on how the corner he describes could have become that way in the absence of an alteration. One suspects if it were a PSA card at issue there would be much more discussion of the merits.
