Back scans
I checked out the back scans, and I think PSA meant to put those grades on them. I've been looking at a lot of T206 Cobbs in 1-3 grade lately, just doing research, and I've found that PSA *really* takes the backs into account, especially paper loss. I've found cards that appear 6+ on the front but paper loss on the back brought it to a 1. The 1 in question here does have bad staining on the back.
Please note, I'm not defending their grade, and actually believe the 2 and 1 should be flipped. Just offering one opinion that PSA gives a lot of weight to the back on T206's. Personally, I'd still rather have a nice front/bad back than anything with a corner chunk missing!
