   $5200 wow lol The card is a "2" and deserving of a 2 with its residue and slight rub damage from glue removal. The card shouldnt get a bump even though the winner bid like it was far more than a "2". Its a 1915 E145-2, not the far rarer 1914.... that $$ is crazy IMO for a 1915

   I wanted to ask the board a quick question concerning a 1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb that was a PSA 2 that ended a couple of days ago. The card on the front was absolutely stunning and looked like an 8/at worst a PSA 7, and the back had some paper loss or blurring in some of the writing. It was a great card and I had…

   A quick search on ebay, yielded another one, that sold for $4,900. For an extra $300, I'd rather have the card mentioned. Also, note that the flips are different -- although both a PSA 2: one had good 2 on the same line, one had good and 2 on different lines linky

   Paper loss or pin holes will drop a card that is otherwise MINT down to a PSA 1 or 2. If this doesn't bother you, you can find some really nice "low grade" cards.

   That is the card, and if the back was clean it would have been an 8. Your examples are valid, and the Ruth listed above I am not sure of the parallel you are trying to make. If there is tape residue on the front that would be a given but the condition of the Cobb and the Ruth from a centering, corners, and color are…

   Residue on the front of the card or a pinhole will automatically drop a card for PSA to 1 (Poor). See my Ruth card with a clean back, which only has a tape residue stain on front. Spots of paper loss or residue on back will drop the card to PSA 2 at best. That Cracker Jack Cobb is lucky it didn't get Poor or Authentic…

   On a different note who are the top dealers or auction houses these days for Cracker Jack PSA cards? Been a few years since I have been in the card market, and I used to specialize in PSA 8 or higher Mantle's Williams, Aaron's... Been thinking about doing some 1915 CJ's. Thank you in advance for the help.

   Yea that is one sweet CJ Cobb, I really dont think you would have any trouble reselling it in any auction house and realized a good price. Its one of those buy the card not the holder types for sure.

    If that's the card, then it looks like the residue on the back was the reason for the drop in grade. The color also looks somewhat washed out (maybe literally, if it was soaked to remove it from the page it was pasted to).
