T206 Ty Cobb Drum Back on eBay

[Ronnie73]

Good to see PSA got the grade right on this one. I feel the starting bid is a little high. Should have been started around $8000 but even 12.5K is a bargain compared to the PSA 2 (MK) of this card that sold for $28,048.

It would be interesting if Just Collect would release the name of the consignor. Might open up a can of worms.

Did someone really think thay were going to get that slabbed with a number? It's a horrible and obvious hack job.

Sad how far some will go to try and make a buck.

I agree on the sadness.... But PSA invited these people in the minute they graded that Wagner an 8.

Looks to me like color added top right corner.

It looks like the top of the card has been trimmed. Does anyone know if this card is from the St. Louis find of Drums from a few years ago where a lot of the cards were trimmed across the top? If so, does anyone know what it sold for back then?

If you don't want to assume the worst about people I humbly offer a more generous explanation:
Perhaps the owner of the card didn't like the aesthetic of such a modern edge on a 100 year old card and purposely worked the corners so it would look less shocking to the eye. If we want to give him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he even told this to PSA when submitting and wouldn't have accepted a numerical grade.
