Well, yeah, that was kind of my point. I have only 20ish T206s and they vary, which is why I was pretty confident about the Summers. I don't think there is a single t206 I own that measures exactly the same. I think the graders get a bit caught up in the stats, a t206 should be this or that, etc... instead of just looking at them for what they are. These things weren't laser cut by a computer, they vary wildly, which is why I like em'...

COBB listing has been updated!!
Since there is now a slight wrinkle, I raised the price. Graded labels with a "10" on them are so rare and command a premium, this Cobb is probably the ONLY ONE in existence to have a wrinkle right in that exact spot so it has to be a one of a kind.

Hi Jason, no I wasn't joking but yes I did not roll this one as you can clearly see in my updated picture on the listing. The crease is still there
 I have been soaking and rolling creases for 35+ years and see no problem at all with it as I am a collector and it enhances the visual appearance in my binder. I do understand that the hobby has changed and horribly for the worst in my opinion with all of the ridiculous grading and investors. I do not use any chemicals, I use tap water only. I can appreciate your stance and suggest you do not buy any cards out of my keeper collection that I have amassed over the years as I would have no idea remembering which ones were soaked or not. Also, now that there are experts grading cards, be safe and just have them determine if a card has been soaked and rolled or not. If that practice bothered me, then I would only collect slabbed cards probably. I think there was a thread on soaking and I can't remember if I participated or not. But if I did, I am sure I was in the minority as I always am on this board on any issue. take care Dan

Jason, I think I should mention to be fair, that if I buy a card for resale that I do not take the time to soak and roll it or do anything for that matter.
My soaking is for me and for my collection. Though it will be sold eventually as the cards will out last me. I thought I had soaked the Green Cobb as it was going to be my new keeper card. Wonka has been looking at buying my entire T206 binder with full set and all of the errors and printing freaks. I have 4 fairly large T206 deals that I have purchased over the last few years and was going to start a new T206 set and this Cobb is the only green I would have after the sale. I actually got this Cobb from Wonka. If you will see my listings, I try to mention creases and many of the cards I have sold had creases and were sold just like that. Many could have been soaked to enhance but weren't. And I always accept returns on raw cards and on most graded ones too. Though I would not have a problem buying a card that was soaked and rolled, I do see your point and realize it may bother people. Paperloss on back of a card bothers me and many auction houses only picture fronts. I got smoked on a T207 lot from Mastronet years ago from this. Though they did grade them as poor or fair to good, I expected full cards. They did offer me to return them so there was no problem with customer service. As always, I appreciate your input. Even about my tongue and cheek  take care Jason dan
