[honus94566]

The card sold for 8889.00

Congrats to the buyer, I guess... But I agree, it sure looks like to consignor tried to pull off something shady.

Agreed... looks like the cognisnor tried to slip this in a psa 1 case... but its still an authentic Cobb drum back.. it wasnt re backed... just further trimmed to try and round the corners off...

I think it went for a reasonable price.. considering the psa 2 MK went for almost 4 times that... and this is the only other known example...

Jamie, as the new owner, you would always know what it used to look like before a modern scammer worked it over. Could you enjoy owning a card like that?

The ultra rare 1 of 1's. Or 1 of 2's You take however you can get in my opinion. It's a Cobb drum back. That's a pretty cool card. As long as it's not rebacked or color added. Which I don't think that one was. Just trimmed and someone tried to round the corners.

What would it have sold for if it was a psa1? I'd guess probably around 15-16k?

You don't consider a partially re-drawn back to be the same as 'color added'?

The main thing is that you have no idea what is behind the 'Authentic' designation....but I've already said that

Hopefully you won't some day find yourself with a pile of '1vof 1' or '1 of 2' cards and every single one of them has an 'authentic' designation and every card in your pile has been trimmed, the edges rebuilt, color added or backs re-drawn, etc., etc. - I seriously think such a collection would actually make you nauseous.

FYI, I received a call earlier today from the consignment company, JustCollect, concerning this auction. They told me they contacted the buyer to make sure he is still comfortable with the card given it's past or they could cancel the sale. The JustCollect exec also feels more information could/should be put on the flips. We are in agreement .

The back has not been redrawn or color added, it simply had a piece of paper crud soaked off of it, probably from another card stuck to it.

Cool.

By the way, I acquired an 'AUTH' SGC card as part of a large lot, and I stuck it on ebay. I have mixed feelings about it. It's a low-value card and it's obviously been trimmed - a designation of 'TRIMMED' would be completely appropriate in my opinion. For the red Cobb, the flip should say, 'MA' for 'multiple alterations'.
