Default Beware E93 Cobb on eBay
The first Cobb was sold in Heritage ten days ago for $4560; obvious white print marks all over the orange field, Cobb's glove, sweater, etc. Second pic is the same card in a current eBay auction, selling for $7999 with all the white print marks photoshopped out. Here's the link to the eBay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1910-E93-Ty...19.m1438.l2649

Agreed but I can't blame that on the eBay seller as he bought it in the holder from Heritage. The balls to increase the price in ten days by 75% while also photoshopping all the print defects out is pretty impressive. At some point a fraudster like this is going to sell to the wrong guy.

I've seen a ton of high grade E93s that looked trimmed to me. But I am sort of biased. I think all E cards that are too short and have way too neat corners are trimmed.

I don’t post in threads like this typically, but I’ve dealt with Pete and had a great transaction that went smoothly without incident. I love the card I got and believe him to be a stand up guy.

Here's an image of the card without the marks when it sold in a Mile High
auction in 2008.

Thanks Patrick. In 10 years there is a chance someone scratched it. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it could've happened.

You would think an AH would clean up the holder on an expensive card.

Check PSA verification. It shows the last three auction house sales with links to the pics. You can see that the holder has been dinged over the years.
