Here are the links to two Graded T206's....that are fraudulent RE-BACK's. And, about a year ago one of the nicest members of
Net54 bought a Graded Cobb (bat off) with a 150 Series back.....an impossible F/B combo. The scam artists have perfected this
re-backing "art" to the degree that these fake cards are either getting by the professional graders, or the scammers have gotten
so good they can also crack and restore the PSA and SGC plastics without you knowing it.
But, one thing (so far) is that they are not smart enough to know which T206 fronts are compatible with which backs. As illustra-
ted with these three examples I have given you.
Given time they will educate themselves....and, then there will be a big problem that will really rock this hobby.

You can agree with Paul all you want. And, I will continue to try to be preemptive in "flushing-out" any BB card that I see is a fake.
I wish I had seen that Cobb I mentioned before our Net54 member won it from ebay. I would have instantly cautioned him.
In this case....the red Chance....as I said, it was not noticeable on my screen that the lettering is not the normal color of a T206.
But, an instant red flag went up when I saw the Piedmont 460 back.
