Brad I sure hope this was not your card that went to Pro.

Actually the Cobb was originally sold RAW on ebay to a bored member a while back. I keep close tabs on all Maples so this is the reason why I'm pretty sure the card was trimmed!!!

Here's the RAW pic from ebay:

Agreed......................... buying PRO is not usually a good choice. i was fortunate and had a PRO 7.5 cross to an SGC 60, i was afraid it was trimmed. I would not press my luck again.

After seeing the Raw pic.....The SGC scan sure looks photoshopped....

Low grade PRO cards are a good buy if you know your cards. High grade = trimmed

Once picked up a Tango card for 1/2 of what it should have sold for, it crossed over. 10 years ago noncollectors wanting to get a card graded before auctioning it would sometimes choose PRO (over PSA/SGC) not knowing better.
