Default T206 Red Cobb or T206 Red Cobb?

I picked up what I think might be an upgrade for me but want to get others thoughts too. Which would you choose and why? Of course both look pretty nice but I am biased...Only one will (probably ) stay.
And remember, I am one who likes big borders.
Sorry for the different size scans... ALso, the 1.5 has some spider wrinkles as can be seen.

PSA card all day. The main 2 reasons are I like the background to be dark red, not orangeish. I also like Ty to be looking to the left, not to the right when facing me.

PSA 1.5 without a doubt. Better color, better image, sharper corners. And with the money you get from selling the SGC 4 you can buy more stuff!

The 1.5 looks short on both top and bottom in the holder, while the 4 looks like it fits slightly better.

Hard to tell tho when they are not to scale with each other.

Which one measures out larger?

If both cards raw, the 350 back one gets my vote as the registry is better. Now, you have to figure out why each card got accessed the grade they did. Especially the PSA card, as I have no trust in them whatsoever when it comes to high dollar cards. If you are sold in bith cards, then go to the more rarer backside to own.

Default Red Cobb

Both are nice examples. I voted for the Polar Bear. You could always start a Red Cobb back-run...Rob

I would say the Polar Bear back, but that is because I love those backs.

Tough call. Image/color obviously better on the 1.5, but I'm a sucker for polar bear tobacco stains and reasonably-rounded corners.
