Why would you pay PSA to only authenticate a card?

Ed, I know why you want the cards but what you offered in trade far exceeds the value of the 2 Cobbs. You know I collect FF Baker and with our stamp backs they are 2 grades lower without. That’s what nice about our collecting habits. Even without the stamps your trade is heavy on your side. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Yeah, tried to figure out how to edit a headline but couldn’t. Thumb-typing challenged

He's obviously not being truthful about the reason they received the "Auth" grade. As you already know, they are trimmed and have tape on them, so "Auth" is the only grade they were eligible for.

Ed, just busting chops, obviously. Good thread.

It's easy to edit a title. Just hit the edit button in the post, as normal, then look in that area again for the words Go Advanced, click on them and it lets you edit a title. (And done.) As for the original subject, good luck, your offer was already way more than fair.

And the lesson.

He seems disingenuous and a liar and is pitching like a car salesman.

I was going to say, to get the ball rolling, you could offer your better-conditioned red Cobb for one of his two Cobbs, straight up. But I'd be nervous that you'd send it to him and get nothing in return because he comes off so shady (bad scans, these cards are not what he normally sells, he lies about grading, etc).

Politely tell him you are no longer interested, thank him for his time, and no longer communicate w/him.

I guarantee they will eventually come up for sale. When they do, just be the highest bidder. If necessary, you can sell the T206s you mentioned and come out ahead.

Good luck w/your decision. Eventually they will find their way to you
