Beware E93 Cobb on eBay

[sycks22]

I can speak from the Cobb because it's mine. I thought the white spots were on the card as well, but when I got it in hand they are on the case. A simple cleaning of the case took them right off. Nothing shady going on here folks.

From Heritage: "The soiled surfaces announce the age of this over century old relic." I guess they just meant the case?

I guess an auction house has never been wrong before. I can send a texted picture to anyone who cares. It's amusing how everyone bashes AH's on here, but when they don't clean a case before taking scans something shady has to be going on.

Looking at the high res Heritage scan, there is a lot of dust on the holder. At the same time, the white marks in the center of the card above Cobb don't look to me like they are on the holder?

Never mind upload failed too big.

Heritage let a card of this grade and caliber go to auction with shmutz on the case, a simple cleaning of which could have meant tons of extra $$?? Seems odd. Maybe post a phone shot of the card? Not saying you have done anything, but it does seem odd. Just sayin - as a guy who watched this card closely in the Heritage auction.

And btw Pete, you and I have never done a deal, but you list real nice cards and I am pulling for an AH mess up

Here are 3 scans I just took. As you can see from the shadows that the white markings are on the case.

I'm in the middle of a trial and my brain is fried so I'm sure I'm missing something. I thought you cleaned the case and that's why your eBay image doesn't have the white marks on the case?

I'll be 100% honest, I don't know how to photo shop stuff. I know how to put the card on the scanner and hit "scan".

That's actually more than I know how to do. I do know how to buy a scanner, however. That's where my expertise ends.

Like I stated previously I was as surprised as anyone when I got the card and noticed it was the case and not the card. I would send it to PSA to get reholdered, but I'd want it back before Christmas.

Those white spots seem to come and go. They're back on your camera pics, but look like they're back on the holder.
