T206 Cobb (Bat-Off) 7.5 Sale on eBay

[robw1959]

I followed this one purely out of curiosity. Can anyone explain the relatively low final amount? I mean $3500 is about right for an SGC 4.5 version of this issue, right? Here's the link . . .

Yep, plenty to happen in more than 8 days. It won't sell for close to that, especially now that it's been called out.

Did you really mean to post that link or did you get duped by the eBay redirect on closed auctions?

Maybe the older holder will keep people away. SGC will not honor the grade since it pre-dates the 2 grade label.

Sorry, I somehow thought it had ended already . . . long day has gotten to me, I guess! It will be interesting to see where it ends up though, right?

Dean, what do you mean by this? Because it doesn’t have the one-digit equivalent on the flip, SGC will not honor the flip?

Is the bottom edge curved or just the scan?

It won't automatically reholder, no. That is SGC's policy with respect to cards graded by old (pre 2004 or so) ownership.

This is my understanding as well. Flips without the dual grades will not be guaranteed by SGC. Those were graded under the previous ownership.

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks guys. So this card was graded under previous ownership and new ownership, who has been in place for 14+ years, won’t stand behind the grades and work of its predecessor?

I have a Namath rookie with the old label. Not terribly worried about it as it is VG.

If SGC isn't going to stand behind the older grades, are those cards still acknowledged on their population report? If the answer is yes, something is very wrong.
