2019 • PSA 2 cert# 27736714 • BlowOut →
1911 D304 Butter Krust Ty Cobb PSA 2 to PSA 3
Alteration types: Chemically whitened
Sold on 2/24/2018 as a PSA 2 by Heritage Auctions to an unknown buyer for $15,600.00
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 5/9/2018 as a PSA 3 for $16,109.00
Final price: $16,109.00
Value gain: $509.00
I found this card by looking in the same PSA order as the E93 Wagner (Post #3488) that was uncovered last night. Like the Wagner, it was also cleaned, which has minimized the appearance of some enamel chipping on the front. I wonder if Cobb collectors knew something wasn't right with this card, especially after Heritage just sold a PSA 2 (this exact card!) a few months earlier. I say that because the gain was extremely modest— only $509 for what is the highest graded example from PSA.
On the image of the card's reverse, the yellow circles are areas where staining and toning has been minimized or eliminated. Red circles are common print dots and/or fibers. On the detailed (third) image, the red circle shows removed staining and the green arrow points to where the enamel is chipped.
