Default Cobb with Cobb back offered

Does this seem real? I am not convinced. Your thoughts?

Does the current bid of $8 dollars tell you anything?

Clearly fake, and not even a good fake.

A Cobb with Cobb back card is a $100,000 card at minimum. The linked listing is currently at $80. I am all for educating and helping each other out on the board; there is plenty I don't know about the hobby.

But is the premise of the thread that a real Cobb with Cobb back card could sell for less than .1% of its value because everyone missed a $100,000 card at auction?

Default It not over till....

you know the rest.

Looks like the auction ends Jan 4, so it not a case of 'sour grapes' because people missed it (unless I misunderstand your point) - its the card.

Some of the impression may simply be bad images (why???), but there looks to be way more to it than that. I'm not a T206 guy at all, but this one smells off.

It is horrible looking. What next, auctioning off a $3 bill?

That's too funny.... if you want to bid on the card, then I'd be happy to point you in the direction of a few T206 Wagners that are for auction....

One of the rarest and most expensive cards in the hobby up upgraded at an auction house I've never heard of. Seems legit.

Current bid $150;

I know that I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am every time.
