Lew Lipset ("theoldjudge") is one of the most knowledgeable collectors ever. He is the author of the best (my opinion) vintage baseball card reference books ever, "The Baseball Card Encyclopedia" Vol. 1-3 (1983). Most of the info in the SCD Catalogs on vintage cards is based on info found in his 3 volume set. I would never have a problem buying from him. I think the Cobb problem is an isolated case, and was consigned to his auction. I didnt follow all of it so I am not sure. I have bid on and bought quality rarer cards from Mr. Lipset since the mid 80's, and have never had a problem. He is one of the good guys. Frank
