T206 Red Cobb or T206 Red Cobb?

I don't like creases. The creases on the face of the Sweet Cap would drive me crazy. The PB is far more appealing to me if I had to pick one.

I'm a big border guy too. So I'd prefer the PB. The SC is nothing to snicker at. Maybe keep both for now. As you know, you'll have no trouble selling either one if/when.

I voted Polar Bear. Polar Bears may seem common to some but once you get into the 4 and up grades, they become more difficult. If the Sweet Caporal was a lower population Factory 25, then it would be a much more difficult choice for me.

I vote PB also. I view the 4 grade as a detriment, not an asset...as the less money I have in, the more I like it. That said, the combination of large borders and natural PB staining give me assurances that the 1.5 doesn't. Both great in any case.

PB for me - let me know when you're ready to get rid of it

I like the color and image quality of the PSA card a little better; and I don't really like that light spot just below Ty's neck on the SGC one.

Even with the above, however, I prefer the SGC card, overall, to the PSA one; mainly due to the larger borders. Like you indicated in your post, Leon, I also prefer larger borders; and even if not trimmed, the PSA card's top/bottom borders are a bit too narrow for my taste.

Plus, I really do not like creases.

Here is a side by side. I have to say, I like the PSA better (on left). The color, registration, and corners are just better. Leon, you could probably make this pic bigger.
