Its a Ty Cobb Uzit. Its more rare than the Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back. It doesnt matter if its in a PRO holder.

Basically you're saying if it weren't trimmed, it would be in a PSA holder, right? Like the PSA 8 Wagner?

It's called a "diamond cut", very common.

+1 great card. Love seeing these impossibly tough combos show up in high grade.

How does PSA handle diamond cuts on a t206 card that would otherwise be a 7 or an 8? Sharp corners, centered, etc.

what all the fuss is about

For the sake of discussion, let's assume this crosses to a PSA 6.5 and gets sent to REA. Does it sell for $125,000?

I had a too-good-to-be-true cy young portrait (looks ex+)

thought it was a diamond cut. PSA disagreed and gave it an "authentic". Maybe there's scissor marks I'm missing (not an expert at IDing scissor marks unless very obvious). Wondering if anyone w a diamond cut rejected by PSA (without any obvious scissor marks) should try GAI in order to increase value several fold compared to a N or A from PSA?

Personally I would crack it out and send it into SGC if you believe it hasn't been trimmed. Nothing to lose but the grading and shipping fees, and a lot of upside potential if you're right.

This was also discussed, however I'm not overly familiar with diamond cuts and pointed out below PSA gave that Cy Young a trimmed grading.

It just seems illogical that the card wouldn't be crossed over to a PSA slab so those who have their virtual albums and what not could have it in there and well it's more appealing in a PSA or SGC slab.

Not sure about the rest of you but I prefer PSA or SGC slabs. I will not buy any card slabbed in any other grading service. I'm sure most if not everyone will agree that if this were in a PSA holder with that grade then that outlandish price wouldn't be so outlandish well maybe it would be but.......

The point I'm trying to make is that let's say it is a diamond cut then why doesn't the seller/owner cross it over it just makes sense.

Unless I'm mistaken and diamond cuts receive a trimmed designation. Again I'm just finding out about diamond cuts and what the difference is after a couple years of collecting T206s.

I usually don't disagree with Psa , but in this case The edges don't look different than any other t206 I have (other than the diamond cut). It's also without size requirements. So am wondering if PSA defaults to trimmed when they see high grade diamond cuts.

I think I recall a little history of the card; it has been around a while and has resided in the Wentz Bros. (BMW) vault for some time until they decided to put it up for sale again. I have seen and handled it, and it is a very special T206. I can't recall if it was in the GAI holder or not, but I somehow doubt somebody submitted it to them raw as the 1st grader of choice even though they were a much more respected TPG back then then they are now.
