Heritage sold this type T5 Cobb earlier this year SGC graded, and mentioned there was another in a PSA holder, but this is the only one I have been able to uncover. I am sure there are probably more. The Heritage Auction one was an SGC AUT that went for a bit over 19k.....

darn pinholes....

Leon, you have to embrace the pinhole! That's an incredible looking piece made available at 10% of its normal price because of a few tiny little holes! Sign me up for a card like that every day of the week!

I wish I had paid 10% of their probable value for them. But it will be fine. This one doesn't have a pinhole but has 2 small tears...

Agree wholeheartedly!

Was this the one in the Heritage auction? or is this a different example which was not that one nor the PSA graded copy.

And, when you bought the item, was it properly described or do you have recourse?

It wasn't the one in Heritage and I don't need recourse as I am still going to be ahead. I just didn't realize two of the three had the holes. All things considered they still present nicely and were a nice bargain (not a steal but a good bargain). I have no buyers remorse whatsoever.

Nice Leon,
Were they all from the same seller? Was wondering who got the Cobb.

Yes. After a few days and no bids he responded to an email asking if he would take an offer on the Cobb before there were any bids. He then told me he had two others and I ended up buying all 3, with the help of a board member, and eventually won the Clarke from him on ebay too. There is still good stuff on ebay.

That's a beautiful pinhole!
