PM sent to the guys who said - It is not altered- (0%).
I just inherited some beautiful cards that my grandfather found in an attic when he was a boy. Thought you might be interested.

Such a flowery, poetic write-up on the auction from Mile High Card in 2010, which conveniently omits the key fact that this card HAS BEEN TRIMMED. Just a tad more important than the description of Cobb's "pleasing brown tool of his trade," don't you think?
"Graded NM/MT 8 by Global Authority Inc. Rarely is a collectible afforded the near cult like status within a hobby that the T206 issue has. At the very precipice of the release are the four cards that portray Tyrus Cobb; the offered card is the "Bat Off" version of Cobb's pasteboard and features the great batsman with an intense measured focus as if he is almost in a trance-like state, preoccupied with the game that he ruled over. Recently graded by the newer version of Global Authority the card presents as an exceptional stunner with a nearly perfectly centered image colliding with a positively exquisite image that is precisely focused. The colors are perfectly struck with an emerald green reverse giving way to the slate gray of Cobb's Tiger sweater and the pleasing brown of the tool of his trade. The surface shimmers underneath a supple layering of petite gloss while the reverse is pleasingly presented with a stain-free Sweet Caporal advertisement. Each of the four corners holds captive the retention of precisely formed points and appear just as they did the day the offered card was produced. A prestigious collectible that appears and is offered today in the highest accordance of the opined grade."

Just 3 points:
1. The card is authentic. 2. It's a great looking card regardless of the holder. 3. It's not worth $18,000.

I'm sure the card was first sent to PSA or SGC and came back trimmed and if your in the business to make money by any means, you would then send it to one of the many not so well known graders. The card would have been great if it had an American Beauty back.
