Default There are things on back I don't like

Along with one of the edges. I am not referring to the paper loss at the top. Again I'm going off scan and the things I'm seeing I may discount in person. If this card ends up in a holder does not mean the original assessment was not correct. I'd still rather see in person to give a 100% opinion. I would not be shocked if either removed from scrapbook of som sort or had something erased from back. These concerns could be due to the scans settings or glare.

Default Keep it

Perhaps this is a sign that you were meant to keep the card afterall.

I'd personally keep any card my grandfather passed down through the family.

There is a saying in the business world that the third generation will loose the company, either by driving it to the ground or selling it, basically not owning it anymore, I guess the same hold thru for baseball cards.

I've heard, "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations..."

Nice Cobb card, whatever you decide.

Default Cobb

Another possibility is bleaching. Someone may have touched up the top edge or a small spot with a little clorox. If PSA picked up on it under black light they won't grade.

If you are going to attempt the grading angle again, I'd go with SGC over BVG. if you do, it will be interesting to see what they say, and how it grades out. Once graded by SGC, I would most definitely keep it if I were you.
