Posted By: Steve F I've seen many holdered, but all had black text (until recently that is). Any of you folks own a blue text version, that is authentic? Thanks, Steve F <img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c327/oche16/w551cobb-1.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: MikePugedaSteve, I only have a couple and they have black text. One thing I did notice is that my Cobb is missing the color for the "treeline" at the bottom. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1228882776.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1228882797.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> Mike

Posted By: AnonymousI always have been under the impression that all the blue print W551's are reprints, I believe originally from sets produced by Larry Fritsch Cards. Brian

Posted By: Andy CookI have both the black and blue print Frank Baker. The paper on the blue print feels like authentic strip card paper to me. It seems to be slightly different than the paper of the black print, but not hugely different. Is there a Net54 temp place I post a scan that will display here? Andy

Posted By: Andy CookI'm interested in everyone's opinion of my blue Baker that Steve posted for me. Is this one of Frisch's reprints, or legit? Thanks, Andy

Posted By: S GrossAndy, Yes, I believe, based on the scan, your Barker is a reprint. There was a reprint w551 Ruth on eaby a week or so ago (listed under boxing, so maybe not everyone saw it). It also had that extra layer of Red color, as well as the blue type. Scott

Posted By: JoshIf that is the case than the grading companies are grading the reprints. I have a Baker just like the one scanned and SGC graded it. I will post a scan when I get back into town.
