Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p> I recently came across an auction where a person bought an "original" Ty Cobb t206 for $199 BIN. I felt it my collector duty to explain to him how and why I felt this card is fake. However, it was kind of hard for me to put into words. Succintly, how is this card a fake.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-Ty-Cobb-Red-Portrait-HOF-RARE-PSA_W0QQitemZ5245108269QQcategoryZ86840QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-Ty-Cobb-Red-Portrait-HOF-RARE-PSA_W0QQitemZ5245108269QQcategoryZ86840QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem</a><br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>It's a modern reprint. Succinct enough? If you need to know more, the paper is wrong and the printing is wrong, especially the "Cobb, Detroit." Wrong font was used.

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Easiest way is to place the image next to several graded red versions...it should quick stand out as BS<br /><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.com/engelhard1978/cobbs.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.geocities.com/engelhard1978/cobbs.html</a><br /><br /><br />Brian
