New Member - Thoughts on Green Portrait Cobb?

Thanks Peter, possibly an agreement that lays out payment for the card if it grades and payment for the card if it simply comes back "A". That seems like a fair way to do it, thanks for the advice!
I did take a look at the post on this site about detecting trimmed T-206 cards, that will definitely come in handy when examining the card under magnification.

Thanks for the welcome Steve, glad to be here!

Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy it. The card looks fine from the scan but as was said, sometimes a tiny alteration/trimming can't be seen. A lot of us will ask a seller for a guarantee of a numerical tpg grade (any grade but it has to be numerical) to quell our nerves. If a seller won't give that guarantee then you have to make the choice with the associated risk. I have bought before with no guarantee and been fine but of course I prefer one. Most hobby folks will give one. A lot of out-of-the-hobby folks might not.

Card looks authentic to me as well, but I don't like the bottom edge. I guess it could be a wavy scan/image, but it stood out to me from that scan.

Authentic. Possibly trimmed at the bottom though.

I would not buy a high $$ card like that raw. If it's not trimmed it would be slabbed I think.

Card has either been trimmed on the top and bottom or has bends

Thanks for all the help. I am going to continue my search for something graded or a seller willing to offer me payment based on grading outcome. I've been a member for a day and you guys have already saved me money!
