Looks like a decent 3 to me....I would just crack it and keep it. Nice looking card....

That card should NEVER grade a VG 3, GD at best

Here's my idea of 3:



And my idea of a crumby 2:


And of course the dreaded 1.5:



Sorry for bragging Don't mean to derail this thread on the "eye appeal" vs. "technical grade" cause either way your Cobby should be no higher than a GD and that's being generous... Thanks Tony, love these cards

bbcard1 -- if you don't like the way the card looks, then there's no obligation for you to keep it, even if you bought it from a Net54 collector and even if you feel you got it for below-market value for the grade. Being that you collect raw cards, neither the actual grade of this card nor the potential grade of a future purchase actually matter. You've simplified the collecting to only two variables: the card's eye appeal vs cost. And it sounds to me that you're not thrilled with its appearance. So I'd say to go ahead and sell it, in which case leave it in the holster as an SGC 40 cause you'll get more for it that way.

Patrick -- those are some fantastic appearing low-grade SGCs, congrats on finding them. But I do have to ask what the backs look like? cause obviously there must be some significant flaw on the back to warrant those low grades. And I think most of us would not consider those to be typical-appearing 20s or 40s. The Young in question, with an intact back, isn't far off from a typical 40, imho.

Thanks,

The backs have no paper loss or writing, or terrible o/c. Some of them have basic brown tobacco staining, a few of the front have minor marks...In short, I don't proclaim the backs are perfect which is why in most cases they did not get better grades....

I feel you might be confusing eye appeal with technical grade.
