Great video and card! Pin hole doesn't bother me, but i do wonder why it's right in the middle of the card? Usually the pin holes I've seen are higher up like someone had tacked it on the wall. Anyway, it's part of the card's history! Congrats on the addition.
PSA is inconsistant with everything. Ive seen some horrible psa 9s and 10s. I deal mostly in vintage pokemon but I do a sports too and the inconsistanty with everything they grade is tremendous. Thr amount of money difference between a 9 and 10 is so high its criminal to miss these flaws.
To be fair, it's not just PSA that misses things. That's great advice for ALL grading companies and sounds like you've been around long enough, you've more than likely seen SGC and BVG stuff that seemed a big generous on the grade for the card in the holder. Good content, but you do sound a little like an axe to grind with PSA
I do prefer SGC over PSA. SGC tends to be more consistent with there grading. For PSA to miss a pinhole on a scarce Ty Cobb card is unacceptable. It’s not like they missed a bad corner on one of Luka’s 20,000 RC cards.
If I was buying graded cards (which I don't) and someone said you could choose between a PSA 3 and a PSA 4 of the same card and pay the same price for either of them, I'd still want to see what the cards looked like because the 3 could end up looking nicer than the 4, based on how inconsistent PSA's grading is. Glad that you had a good time at The National. I guess it would be difficult having a bad time being in the midst of so many cards.
It’s a little easier following a single Oxford Cobb than a Luka rookie with a pop report of 20,000. Lol. It’s funny how some cards change hands multiple times
Great card Rick!! It is interesting. I guess a minor pinhole to me is not much different than a stain or a smashed corner or some paper lose. If the rest of the card is good than a "3" sounds about right 🤷♂️
PSA is inconsistent. Grading gives you an idea only. I have a 1957 Bobby Layne card graded PSA 7 that is defintely trimmed. I also have a 1963 Raymond Berry that the PSA holder say is 1960.
Hi Rick. Just going through some of your older video's. That is one awesome card. It's sad how you come across the odd dealer who plays dumb, when you point out a defect. I've experienced that more times than I would like to share.
this is good advice, i bought a ripped card and didnt even know it was ripped because it was in a sleeve and i didnt take it out. card was from 1937 and i just figured it was a crease always examine your purchases.
Do you feel comfortable participating in goldin auctions? I've heard they're not much different than pwcc and are actually complicit in shill bidding on each other's auctions
I like psa just fine, but cards with the newer cert numbers seem to be just as inconsistent, especially when it comes to 9s and 10s. Great card by the way!
I've submitted cards to PSA with pin holes, didn't like the grade, cracked the slab and resubmitted. And I got a better grade. PSA is very inconsistent in grading. I completely agree about SGC.
Some pinholes bring price down a ton, others say pinhole? Value doesn't change. I got a Clemente 66 with pinhole very cheap. I missed a rip or wrinkle on a auction card. Light shine was in that exact spot.
That’s a nice photo on that Ty Cobb card. With the history of you seeing that card over the years it wasn’t meant to be in your collection. I have seen Vintage cards with pin holes graded by SGC they usually grade a 1. None the less that card is a awesome.
You ain't ripping on PSA Rick, you're telling the truth! I actually really love the story behind the "Pinhole" Cobb. It's a damn cool card and reminder that TPGers only are an opinion on that day it was graded. Awesome video!
Rick, this is a great public service announcement for those looking at older PSA slabs. One of my favorite things to do is finding old PSA slabs and finding a technical flaw they missed, such as pinhole or wrinkle and making them Grade Guarantee review the card. In the end they frequently reduce the overall grade and are forced to pay me the market value difference between the grades. Let me tell you, there is nothing sweeter than depositing a PSA check into your account. I’d suggest you do the same here!
Congrats on the pick up my brotha 😎👍 oh ya I can see how the pinhole will bug you. If you give the Cobb to me it should clear the problem 🥳✌️ I kid, I kid 🤔 or do I 😂😂
People who by slabs instead of cards seem to always be disappointed lol. If that was raw you’d love it. Instead every time you look at it you’ll be disappointed and afraid to get it reslabbed. Love the card!
Great video Rick. You made great points. Congrats on getting the Cobb. It does look great even with the pinhole. Great giveaway. Congrats to David M. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats David! Thanks for the info Rick. I’ve been eyeballing a card in a GAI holder for over a year and haven’t pulled the trigger because it just doesn’t seem right.
I don’t have a problem with the original gai slabs. The president of PSA started the company. When he sold it the reputation dropped. You can find some great deals buying GAI slabs
Congrats David! Sweet Cobb card! And good advice about buying vintage graded cards online, especially vintage. If the seller does not have a good resolution photo of the card I tend to pass. I’ve noticed some slight registry issues on some cards when I zoom in that I would have missed if I just took a quick look at the picture. I don’t like cards where the registry is off.
It’s tough buying cards on the internet. I’ve had good and bad luck. I too try to avoid sellers who upload a poor quality photo. I hope you have a great weekend John.
Hey man it's been a little while since I've stopped by and I had to check this video out huge fan of tight cob and I can't believe how rare and amazing that card is you mentioned only 27 of them have ever been graded by PSA!! Wow congratulations it's always such a amazing feeling of finding a bucket list card. One thing I love about your channel you not only get to see some amazing cards!! You truly know what you're talking about and I usually learn something new each time I watch one of your videos. Have a great weekend thanks for sharing such a cool card
Pin hole or not that’s a beautiful card Rick! I agree about the old slabs, I’ve actually noticed newer slabbed cards are carrying a premium and sell faster. Congrats to David on the win!
Congrats to David! I know what you mean regarding old PSA slabs. I think it can go both ways though, where you might get a card that was under graded, as well. Great points, Rick, congrats on the Cobb, pinhole or not👍
CONGRATS David. What a card Rick! I don't mind the pin hole cards myself. I have 3 and they look great not only that but I also saved some money on them. I find them raw I always think of them as authentic when buying it in case I get it graded or not to overspend. Thanks Rick great stuff. Oh yeah GO DODGERS 😎👍
Very cool card and some interesting info on the psa grading from back then. Not really a ripping just a very good warning for others👍 Congrats to David and a very cool giveaway!
New sub here Rick. Glad to have found your channel and looking forward to checking out some of your older videos. In my experience I feel SGC graded cards have better eye appeal in same grade PSA examples. Not always but it seems like a majority. Great Cobb. I would love to have it. Pin hole or not. Chris S
Awesome video Rick. Congrats to David M. That Cobb is incredible and thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are truly an asset to this hobby and cardmunity. Thank you again.
Absolutely incredible Cobb.,; pin hole or not. I have never seen it before and it’s phenomenal! I can’t believe you pulled my name! Beyond excited. Thank you so much Rick for your incredible generosity! I’ll shoot you an email shortly. Thank you and Take care
I've been collecting investment graded (SGC/PSA/BGS) Vintage HOF'ers fairly well centered for the year with nice eye appeal for over 12 years now and I agree, SGC is superior to PSA from 1887 thru 1941. From 47 thru present I prefer PSA but, I've recently noticed SGC is invading PSA territory from 47 thru 59. They're tougher than PSA and the cards just look better in the SGC slabs.
My email: vintageoddballcards@gmail.com
That Ty Cobb card is a beauty!
Thanks!
Congrats David M. Really enjoyed the video Rick.
Thanks!
Great video and card! Pin hole doesn't bother me, but i do wonder why it's right in the middle of the card? Usually the pin holes I've seen are higher up like someone had tacked it on the wall. Anyway, it's part of the card's history! Congrats on the addition.
Probably a mom pinned the card to a cork board . Back then it was just another card.
Congrats to David M!!!! Ridiculous pickup ....
Thanks Lou! Enjoyed your video with John and James last night. Hope you do more of them.
@@vintageoddballcards6103 thank you...little different live stream vs recording, but I like it. Easy to talk cards and baseball with those two guys
That’s a big boy card for sure. I have 3 from that set. Cannot be a 3 with a pinhole. 1.5 tops. But still a beautiful card.
PSA is inconsistant with everything. Ive seen some horrible psa 9s and 10s. I deal mostly in vintage pokemon but I do a sports too and the inconsistanty with everything they grade is tremendous. Thr amount of money difference between a 9 and 10 is so high its criminal to miss these flaws.

totally agree, older psa slabs are way over graded.. i have a few of the older slabs and im like WTF is this graded lol
Great video!
It looks like Ty Cobb has a booger hanging. That is a sweet card though.
I’ll go with a pimple. It’s small . But, can’t believe PSA missed it.
Great story about this card. Fascinates me how you new it was the same card you had seen years prior. So cool🤙🏻🤙🏻
I buy a lot of pre war so good to know
If I was buying graded cards (which I don't) and someone said you could choose between a PSA 3 and a PSA 4 of the same card and pay the same price for either of them, I'd still want to see what the cards looked like because the 3 could end up looking nicer than the 4, based on how inconsistent PSA's grading is. Glad that you had a good time at The National. I guess it would be difficult having a bad time being in the midst of so many cards.
Thanks for taking the time to watch. Everybody needs to go to the National at least once. They won’t be disappointed
Killer card Rick, and nice job of following it around it's journey and remembering it.
It’s a little easier following a single Oxford Cobb than a Luka rookie with a pop report of 20,000. Lol. It’s funny how some cards change hands multiple times
that's still a beautiful card rick. congrats.
Thanks Ray!
Thank you for always sharing great and informative information for the hobby !
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Love the hobby!
Congrats David!! Wow! Looks like a great card still. Never really tried SGC. Keep hearing good things about them.
I’m a fan of both PSA and SGC. I just feel back 15 years ago PSA didn’t have a good grasp on how to grade vintage.
Fantastic stuff Rick. Love the Oxford Cobb, and wise words!
Thanks! I’m really happy to pick it up.
Great card Rick!! It is interesting. I guess a minor pinhole to me is not much different than a stain or a smashed corner or some paper lose. If the rest of the card is good than a "3" sounds about right 🤷♂️
Wow Rick, that a fascinating card with a great back story! Looks amazing too!
Thanks Eric!
Great info on psa and their inconsistencies
Congrats to the winner! And that is one awesome card! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Congrats on that great giveaway! Awesome back story on the Cobb. That's a great addition to your PC! Thanks for sharing that!
Thanks! I’m glad it’s finally in my collection. I really appreciate you watching. Hope you have a great weekend
Great vid Rick!
Great job!!
Awesome Cobb, pinhole or not but should not be a 3 of course
PSA has really gone down the toilet! Will never use them anymore!
Valid points. Thanks Rick!
Thanks Victor! It means a lot coming from you. What is Ty Cobbs rookie card?
PSA is inconsistent. Grading gives you an idea only. I have a 1957 Bobby Layne card graded PSA 7 that is defintely trimmed. I also have a 1963 Raymond Berry that the PSA holder say is 1960.
Congrats winner Mr. M! Pinholes= grade of 1
Love me some pinholes. I used to pin my cards on a cork board. The cards have a little character.
I need to start saving my money!
Definitely start saving. You can’t have enough money for the National
You get a like even before opening your mouth. Great content Rick.
Thanks! I really appreciate you watching.
👍👍🤝♥️

always examine your purchases.

I’ve only bought from them once. I had no issue. But, I was careful.
after all u said why did u buy it i hope u got a 2 price
The dealer gave me a great price for the card. I don’t mind the pinhole if I can save a few bucks
Nice card and great info
Thanks!
I like psa just fine, but cards with the newer cert numbers seem to be just as inconsistent, especially when it comes to 9s and 10s. Great card by the way!
I agree with the newer PSA cards. Now they seem too tough. They seem to be limiting the amount of 10s they give
@@vintageoddballcards6103 if they are limiting 10s as myself and many others believe they do, that is bordering on fraudulent
I've submitted cards to PSA with pin holes, didn't like the grade, cracked the slab and resubmitted. And I got a better grade. PSA is very inconsistent in grading. I completely agree about SGC.
I agree with you Mike. Very inconsistent. I really appreciate you watching I hope you have a good weekend
Sweet card buddy!! It sure is nice!!
Thanks! Can’t go wrong picking up a Ty Cobb. I’m really happy picking up the card
I would be too for sure buddy!!
Some pinholes bring price down a ton, others say pinhole? Value doesn't change. I got a Clemente 66 with pinhole very cheap. I missed a rip or wrinkle on a auction card. Light shine was in that exact spot.

The pinhole doesn’t bother me. That was the only way I could afford the card I really appreciate you watching
Congrats to David. That Cobb is pretty cool. I've never seen a pinhole card with higher than a 1.
It’s a 1/1 psa 3 pinhole card. Not a good look for PSA.
Great info Rick! That '21 Cobb is awesome!!! See ya in 11 & 1/2 months!
You ain't ripping on PSA Rick, you're telling the truth! I actually really love the story behind the "Pinhole" Cobb. It's a damn cool card and reminder that TPGers only are an opinion on that day it was graded. Awesome video!
Crazy how they missed the pinhole. Right smack on Cobbs upper lip. Might be the only pinhole PSA 3 But, I doubt it.

Congrats to the winner! Sweet Cobb slab.
Great information on older slabs!

Thanks Jackie! I used to pin cards to a cork board . I know my pinholes. Lol
Enjoyed hearing your thoughts. Good looking card overall.

I agree Jim. New PSA slabs are going for a premium. I hear it’s harder to get a 10 on modern cards.
