Cobb Bat Off UZIT on the bay.....

[Joshchisox08]

Another member and myself have been discussing this card via pm. We both have come to the conclusion that there's a reason it resides in a GAI slab. Thoughts?

Unless it's somehow skinned etc.... The grade just doesn't matter... That's a beauty and has to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.. The uzit Cobb abides!


Still.... I'd rather have the satchel Paige SP 48 lead on eBay right now, if I could have my pick!!

Awesome card..........if its real and unaltered.

It says "Copeland Collection" on the back of the flip. Didn't Mastro sell Copeland most of his cards, and catalogue them for Sotheby's when they auctioned them off in 1991?

The top edge appears trimmed. Still worth $10k, but not what this seller is asking.

The way I see it, the card is really a PSA Authentic in a GAI slab.

Exactly Sean. I personally would still love to own that. Uzit is the coolest back ever! Besides the poor man's (hey that's me!) Polar Bear backs!

This card is still in a GAI holder for the same reason any high end card is. It's either over graded or altered and couldn't cross. The first thing any of us would do with a card like that is send it into PSA. I'm sure this occurred to the owner as well.

If you look at the top border, it slopes slightly upwards if you're looking at it from left to right. The bottom border seems to mirror the top border. It also slopes slightly upwards if you're looking at it from left to right. It looks like a factory cut (although a sloppy one) to me and definitely not uncommon. Here's one that's a lot more pronounced...

It's in a GAI slab because PSA and/or SGC wouldn't grade it above authentic. Period. It doesn't make any sense for the reason to be anything else. If you owned it and were looking to sell it given the prices for gai v. psa or gai v. sgc wouldn't you have it re-slabbed if it were possible to get a decent numerical grade from PSA or SGC.

Look at his other stuff. Lots of very high end items.
