Boy, does that hit the nail on the head.

I've always wondered how a genuine (gem) mint card could survive in that state for 100+ years.

I had a nice long, well written post and somehow it disappeared? Oh well. Anyway, here is a raw card I got from an heir of the person that collected it originally, while working at Rogers Peet, when they were issued. They were in his dresser draw from then until a few years ago, as the story goes. These are still raw but others I got at the same time came back mostly 8's, and a little better. I think/hope (knock on wood) this Cobby will get at least an 8 too. Oh, and this is how, in a rare instance, there can be mint type cards ....regards

T206 Wagner?.. We think 100% of these in high-grade are trimmed.

I saw Leon's Rogers Peet Cobb in person this weekend. It is gorgeous and I think it is every bit of an 8, probably a 9.
