I just saw a post by him...it could have been this thread. He certainly has been missed. He is a wealth of knowledge and his auction and set sale catalogs were always a welcomed find in the mailbox !!

Barry's auctions are certainly missed....would love to participate in another one of his phone auctions

Barry has not posted to Net54 since July 10th of last year.

This is my Mullin card with same stamp. Looks like the stamp was placed after it was unglued, as well. Huh.

Quite clearly they stole a scan of the back of your card to make the fake Wagner. The glue stain is exact as is the stamp placement.

However, I have never shown the stamp in public before. I wrote about it before to find othesr with the same stamp, but never uploaded a pic.

How long have you owned the card? Where did you obtain it? It's clearly obvious that the back is exactly the same as yours.

I got it off if eBay around 1999. Sent it in to SGC in 2004.

It is quite possible that someone saved the scan from 17+ years ago and used it for a modern day reprint. I save scans of cards that I find unique, even though they aren't my cards.

I'm certainly no expert on the authenticity of tobacco cards.

However, the T206 online database has scans of most of the Wagners that have come up for sale in the last twenty of so years and I did not see that background color on any of them.

As far as the Cobb is concerned, someone had earlier pointed out that the exact wrinkles were on another Cobb...and the Ty Cobb Tobacco back is the rarest of all Cobb backs.

What are the odds of someone inquiring about two of the most sought-after cards ever and acting as if they don't know it.

well LOL to you, sir ....now, Move along...nothing to see here...
