Default Further Thoughts about Red Cobb with Cobb back

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Your very prescient question echos my post on this Thread on Mar 6th.

I will not get into PSA's mistakes......but, we have two significant examples of SGC grading very rare "T206
cards" that turned out to be FAKES.

1st.....the Matty (portrait) with the Red HINDU back, when any student of the T206 design knew that this
card was an impossible front/back combination.....SGC, subsequently, admitted their mistake.

2nd.....the Joe Doyle error FAKE, graded by SGC.....subsequently, they retracted this card.

I feel....and as you asked.....these gross mistakes were honest errors that occurred due to what I call the
"scarcity factor" of such cards; where the grader had never seen one before to compare.
