Just saying....4 sharp corners will still have to deal with these things.....Still a very nice card....
There are several Green Cobb's with the same exact spot including this
PSA 8

That PSA 8 almost looks like it was cut from the big bordered SGC card. Not a stretch to think another might be. I guess we'll have to watch the population reports in the next few months to see if another high grade Cobb is added.

Pat- I was'nt just talking about the print spot. The back of the card had questions towards the bottom of the card. Even having said that, the corners on the card are 5's or 5.5's at best. Again, this card was by far the biggest surprise I have ever seen at auction. The upper left corner and the bottom two corners are slightly rounded!

That Green Cobb looked noticeably short when it was recently auctioned

What can I say, most people don't look past the label these days.

Most 8s look like bad hack jobs to me. I don't understand paying a bunch of money for an obviously trimmed card. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

To loosely paraphrase Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now, if I say that's an 8, Captain, then that's an 8!!
