As an owner of a legit T206 red Cobb, it bums me out to see this. That card is freakin' trimmed-top to bottom definitely. |

This looks like the same card that was in Hunt's March auction (lot #680) it was graded "A" by SGC for evidence of color added. Trimming was not mentioned in the Hunt's description. |

Nice try! Actually, I'm resubmitting to try to get a grade bump so if it comes back in the PSA 5ish range I'll let you know! |

Thought this thread would generate more intersest, but it's not about an auction house, shady dealer or idnner in New York. Just about a questionable $17,000 card. |

The two items that would prevent me from bidding are that he 1) knows how much a PSA would go for, yet sells it raw. 2) He recently received a neutral FB for selling a trimmed card. Just my opinion though.... |

IMO the card is clearly trimmed on the bottom. The top may or may not be. |

If the seller thinks it would grade PSA 8 it would be in a PSA holder. That it's raw says he doesn't believe it would grade PSA 8. End of story. |

Joe -- are you saying that based on the typeface that the card is a forgery? |

It's possible that the seller removed the card to have it graded. Although I think the card is trimmed, it should still be a valuable card in an Authentic holder and one I wouldn't mind having in my collection. I don't think that having the typeface line up is an indication that the card is a forgery. I have several in my collection that are misaligned as to typeface. |

Let's state this again. THE SELLER DID NOT END THIS AUCTION...EBAY DID. |

I think I know who might have gotten it ended. He probably doesn't want me to say though, but he got an auction ended early that I warned people of here a couple of weeks ago. He must have an insider at ebay. |

943jacks is at least smart enough to start the bidding above $200 so that, under the new ebay lack-of-disclosure policy for bidders, no one will be able to alert the bidders. i guess we'll be seeing more of this behavior in the future. |

Surprised there hasn't been more of an uproar about this disclosure thing. It's more the cards and items that exceed the 200.00 bid I'm concerned about as far as shill bidding. IMO. |

If the bidding gets above 25 cents on that card, there must be shill bidding involved ... Or seeing eye dogs can type in bids. |

They know what they're doing. Start at $>200 and that'll prevent the harrsasing IDs from jumping in. I love and hate ebay. |
