Could be...I would have him guarantee its not altered. Looks like buyer got a nice deal and this guy is pretty legit. He has a nice t206 cobb

I think the card's legit and the buyer got a good deal. I've purchased from that seller before without any issues.

He may have meant unaltered, but didn't have a lawyer check his wording. Literally, his wording doesn't cover alterations other than trimming, but he may have simply written the description quickly. If I was a bidder I'd ask for a clarification.

Just noticed that in the title the seller called it "100% Original." Maybe that covers it.

There appears to be a horizontal crease that is visible on both front and back, which would make it no better than a 2/30.

Good eye...yup...I see the crease...and tiny bit of paper loss on front associated with crease. I think the price was about right...all things considered.

Still a decent looking card, I've seen lesser Ruth's sell for more. And the neg wouldn't have bothered me one bit. Spending over 1300 for a raw Leaf Baugh rookie is absurd. The buyer had 7 days to return but didn't. Notice how he waited 3 weeks to leave a neg....he must have sent it out to be graded and was unhappy with the result. That's part of the grading game. Kinda like rolling the dice...sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Can't always tell by the scans!
