Here it is...
I am not ragging on SGC for this by the way... I have no dog in the hunt. I think the card was a millimeter short of standard, maybe, and whoever graded it originally was being overly cautious. It measures a mm or so shorter than some of my sgc graded cards, but it also measures a couple of mm taller than others. At some point it's just subjective. i think it's a beauty. I bought it raw for 30 bucks or so and only had it slabbed for the reasons I mentioned before. I only sent it back because I thought they missed it on this one, but they have pretty much nailed it on my 20 other t206... Anyway, hope the scans show...

Well, yeah, that was kind of my point. I have only 20ish T206s and they vary, which is why I was pretty confident about the Summers. I don't think there is a single t206 I own that measures exactly the same. I think the graders get a bit caught up in the stats, a t206 should be this or that, etc... instead of just looking at them for what they are. These things weren't laser cut by a computer, they vary wildly, which is why I like em'...

COBB listing has been updated!!
Since there is now a slight wrinkle, I raised the price. Graded labels with a "10" on them are so rare and command a premium, this Cobb is probably the ONLY ONE in existence to have a wrinkle right in that exact spot so it has to be a one of a kind.

Hi Jason, no I wasn't joking but yes I did not roll this one as you can clearly see in my updated picture on the listing. The crease is still there
 I have been soaking and rolling creases for 35+ years and see no problem at all with it as I am a collector and it enhances the visual appearance in my binder. I do understand that the hobby has changed and horribly for the worst in my opinion with all of the ridiculous grading and investors. I do not use any chemicals, I use tap water only. I can appreciate your stance and suggest you do not buy any cards out of my keeper collection that I have amassed over the years as I would have no idea remembering which ones were soaked or not. Also, now that there are experts grading cards, be safe and just have them determine if a card has been soaked and rolled or not. If that practice bothered me, then I would only collect slabbed cards probably. I think there was a thread on soaking and I can't remember if I participated or not. But if I did, I am sure I was in the minority as I always am on this board on any issue. take care Dan
