Returning to the merits of the card, I am not an expert but it certainly appears to me from the front scan that there is a piece propped up behind the corner for the purpose of making the corner look square that now seems to have moved off at an angle. In my opinion, at the very least there is sufficient doubt about alteration that SGC should have stepped up to the plate and honored its guaranty, and I am surprised that they did not.

I'm not an expert on alteration; however, I suppose Greg would have been well-served to have looked at the card under a loupe before buying it. But who would travel out of state for a 2K card?

Default What Kind of Business Strategy is this?

You know, if the grading co. swallowed its pill and took this card back or otherwise made it right, they would look pretty good; a straight shooter and friend of the hobby. But to dig heels in when the grade is wrong for several (obvious) reasons, I don't get it.

Jeff imagine my trying to remain nonchalant as I am louping it so as to not give away my discovery of this hobby relic? Surely someone would have noticed my reaction and then I may not have been given the chance to purchase it at such a level or even at all. It is not everyday, not yet anyway, that one is given the opportunity to purchase an SGC graded PentaCobb.
