I think the Shaw card actually demonstrates why the Cobb is in an 8 holder. The Shaw is a real nice card, but I see two wrinkles in the lower left corner and a small circular indentation in the left border, as well as a small bend in the upper right corner. It is also slightly out of register and has some printing issues on the bottom on the name. The green Cobb has none of that, and it's a much larger scan.

IMO, if the Shaw would grade 5 or 6 (and I think a 6 is a realistic grade), then that Cobb is no less than a 7, on any day, with any grader, with any grading company, no matter who submits it.

I am not trying to stifle the discussion, and I appreciate everyone's views, but I'd like to point out that if people keep throwing rocks at Marshall's gems, he isn't going to share them with us anymore.
