Hi there! I got these T206 cobb cards as a part of a large collection, and I am pretty lost on how to authenticate these. Ive already asked somebody about the cobb(red background) with the Cobb back(the ink on the back looks blue/purple), and they said that one is probably a fake, but he thinks that the rest look real. I would like to get the opinion of some more people, based on the pictures I provide. I dont want to spend money on grading unless I am confident these are real. I am more experienced with 50s/60s stuff so I would really appreciate some help! Thank you very much for your time!

Fake. No doubt about it.

Agreed, fake. The borders are too big; the font on the name on the front is wrong; the backs are all either wrong color or do not have factory info on them. No doubt they are reprints.

Absolutely fake.

Unless you live in Ohio and co-own them with your cousin.

Hahaha... though you might have to send these to GEM or PRO to get it authenticated...

If you had to ask on these you might want to keep your initial purchases of tobacco cards to some $10 beaters....
