I'm not one to see trimming inside every slab with a big number, and it's very hard to tell from a couple crummy scans.

But I'm not liking the lower edge on this one.

I said 80% based solely on the presumption that high-grade T206s that do not reside in an SGC or PSA holder are there for a good reason.

I think there is a pencil mark that has been erased

Best Regards and Happy Collecting

Lower edge bump seems odd.

What's left of it is a beauty . That thing looks like it's been on more of a diet than I have but that is just my opinion from the scan. BTW, this isn't any formal or scientific poll...it's merely your opinion. Hopefully no lawsuits will come from it.

I think Global has replaced PRO as the holder of last resort.

In my experience cards not slabbed by the major TPG's are in these alternate slabs for a reason. However, without looking at the label and just looking at the card I think Ty's a bit thinner than when he started.

It's easy to see the boarders are way too narrow.

It looks like it has a very slight diamond cut left to right on top and the same left to right on bottom which to me suggests trimming. Otherwise it would be opposite (right to left) bottom and consistent.

Looks trimmed or touched to me. I'm curious to know how the opinions would differ if this was in a PSA or SGC holder.

Something is not right with this card, color/corner/edge could all been touched to make it look better

The bottom border is almost certainly trimmed.

Default opinion
Some great opinions about the Cobb in here, but the fact is that nobody knows for sure. It seems like there is a reason that it is in GA holder and not one of the reputable grader's...

If this card was raw, I'm sure the opinions would not be as heavy on the side of being altered. The bottom edge looks like it could be a problem, but realistically there are so many shapes and sizes of T206's, how can anyone be close to 100% sure about this? I have seen T206's that look exactly the same in an SGC or PSA holder...the size doesn't look that bad.

That being said, there is no way I would purchase a high dollar card in a holder other than the big three.
