Default Money for T206 Honus Wagner of Cobb/Edwards

Posted By: fkw

Funny thing is its not even one of the better reprints. Its so obvious. happy.gif

A 4 year old can tell its not the same...

Its a waste of time writting this... again. but Maybe Cobb/Edwards can read this and wake up from the dream...

The font is all wrong. Color of ink (black not brownish like the authentic cards), and the P and G in "Pittsburg" in caption are not slightly larger than the letters between them like ALL authentic T206 card. The "G" on the uniform is too close to the border (this is because this reprint from the 1980s was cropped when it was designed, like most reprints). Photo was cropped and a new white border was made (and a new caption was designed) so they wouldnt have print dots in the white border when the card was rescreened in design.

I dont blame Cobb/Edwards much, they are dreamers, but.... The old fart needs glasses.

PS a good reprint will reproduce the exact card, ie. a photo of the card. This is not the case here...very easy to see.
