Here is my Holy Cobb with original borders intact.

Brian,
Is that the infamous "Annie Oakley" Cobb?

Thrown in the air outside a dusty western bar in the middle of a hot afternoon on a bet she couldn't put a shot right through the Georgia Peaches midsection?

She was a mighty good shot Phil, so in regards to my card I would bet anyone a plugged nickel that Annie up and got her gun.

All they have to do is crack it out, retrim to make it better centered, and resubmit! Voila.... a 9!!!!

High grade E and T cards rarely seem to fill out their psa holders compared to their lower grade counterparts. Really makes one skeptical.

Yeah. There was a period maybe 15 years ago we were seeing small caramel cards in high grade constantly. Largely I suspect from the same source but that's another matter. I used to call them Es in Ts -- the real caramel cards were all in baggies then but these seemed to fit just fine in the T size holders. It really did, and does, make you want to say eff it it's all bullshit.

Mr Spaeth with all due respect you know damn well that IS the difference between most low grade examples and ALL high grade vintage cards.

Yes it is bullshit but very few will not collect PSA slabs because of it. Seriously once you can really not care about value and just buy ungraded cards the hobby actually becomes really fun again.
