Just picked this up and I don't know what it is so let the discussion begin. The measurements are 2 x 3:

First thing that comes to mind, as usual, is cut from an ad piece or box. It doesn't have the obligatory information usually seen on a regular card.

I think I will chalk this one up as a fake. The black of the picture has gloss, the white does not. It failed the overhead light reflection test.

I don't ever recall seeing this particular photo of Cobb. Do you ? Turtleneck... Little more head tilt. I know of the E121's and this type of Cobb pose, but this one looks different. I really can't say that I have ever seen the photo pose. What does the back look like ?

Newspaper/magazine stock glued to backing?

Not sure where your's came from, but this looks similarto the pose and the same collar.

Here is the back scan. Cardboard back with thickness of an E120:

Some sort of cut from an advertisement broadside or poster. I run across similar items all the time in my boxing collecting.
