Posted By: <b>Danny Stryffeler</b><p>Hi, I recently bought a bunch of baseball cards to add to my collection . In this bunch of cards I found a 1912 Ty Cobb Card by Honest Cut. This card is in rough shape but stil;l a great card for my collection. My queston is if it is real or not. The card seems to be a front and back glued together.Can any one tell me what kind of card stock was used for printing these cards and if when they were issued were they issued as a front and a back? Did this card come printed on the front and back? or did it come as 2 cards. A front with a blank back and then the back as a seperate card? This card looks very old and looks like 2 card glued together. Any info will be very much appreciated.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Thanks inadvance for your time and your help in thjis matter.<br><br><br><br><br><br> <br><br>Danny <br><br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Danny- that's what a T227 Cobb looks like, but I don't think yours is real. Unless it's just a bad scan, it looks very washed out. And as you said, two halves are glued together. I assume like many other vintage cards it's been reprinted.

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>Yes, looks very much like a reprint. Hope you did not pay too much for it. Here is a link to a real T227 Cobb, you can clearly see the difference.<br><br><a href="http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/auction/2007/299.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/auction/2007/299.html</a>
