Looking for help in identifying this Cobb card. It measures 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. I looked on EBay and couldn’t find anything. It has a blank back. Thanks for your help.

Not sure of the issue, but it looks artificially aged to me.

Here are three that I have. They are the same size and look to be of the same issue. I asked the same question regarding what they were and someone on this forum said they were fantasy cards

Fakes, hope you don't have a lot of money tied up in those.

Look like aged cuts from the Jim Rowe 1977 four on one Exhibits.

Thanks for the update. Glad to report not much $ into the Cobb.

Here is a Rowe 4-1 (these are a 1977 issue) showing your Cobb. These have been reprinted in more recent times in white and always cut and sold as vintage. Often with the artificial aging shown.

All other cards shown are cut from the same reprints also. The photos and type are very recognizable. I will say with confidence that someone shows up with one of these at least every two months with the same question. Very common scam.

I will add that these are postcard size, which is the explanation for the size of the cuts.
