Will SGC slab this with at least an AUTH? Severely trimmed Ty Cobb autographed M114

Leon,

Thanks for the reply. Michael is the person I emailed already, but he probably hasn't even had time to see it yet. At least I picked the right person

I know the SGC guys fairly well. ON the weekends they might actually see this thread before they see their email .

Hi Mike, on the other board when I said yours looks like a M114, I was close its really a M113 I believe. Im not an expert on them and forgot about the series having the 2 ACC numbers...

Here is another one signed that is heavily trimmed that I believe is really a M114 issued well after 1910 ??? But was called a M113

Maybe someone who is an expert on these M113/M114s can positively ID your pose from the 1910 issue and not one of the later ones issued in the 1920-30s

The Legendary Cobb that you just posted a link to is I believe the one from 1941(and M114 should be correct)...Right around that time was when they started to drop the brown background and go to the natural photo's background.

The one the OP showed should be the one from 1910.

I know these have been designated separately as M113 and M114, but lately I've been seeing most of these considered M114's. I believe the SCD Standard Catalog has them all listed together without designation, which probably is contributing to the confusion. The Cobb you have should technically be a M113 though..

Thanks David,
I was in process of typing my reply to Frank when you posted. I appreciate the help.

Oh well, just got a message from Mr. Goldberg and he indicated they would slab it as a Ty Cobb autograph only and not as a M113/M114 due to the amount that is missing and the mounting on cardboard backing.

I'll have to try BGS or PSA next. It's really a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but I'd like to see the issue on the flip rather than just "Ty Cobb autograph".

[chaddurbin]

if you go with bgs or psa, wouldn't you have to pay the outrageous authentication fee again? whereas since jsa owns sgc now they'd just charge you the slabbing fees?

Frank,

Here is one that Huggins and Scott advertised as 1910 here:

Does that make it a M113 or a M114?
