That card under $200 is a huge red flag. Unless you found it at a garage sale and the owner had no idea of the value and you lucked out and it was real.

What is the back, it could be one of several different sets.

He had it tagged as a T-206 card so I was hoping he was just very uneducated.

One of the great things about this board is that there are many collectors willing to help out when a new poster has a question. But a superstar pre-war card for under $200 is going to be fake, well, just about every time.

I have to agree with Pete that it is a fake E102.

Save your money on the grading, it is fake, as others have said.... and if he had it listed as T206 on ebay, and it hasn't been too long, return it. SNAD...

Pretty good fake front though I have to say. Back is just silly.

Like Pete I was thinking the print on the back was too dark, but then I checked out a real one that I have and it also has dark print. The scan of it is below.

Still probably not authentic, but I personally think it is worth sending to TPG for authentication, just because it doesn't scream fake to me, but just kind of whispers loudly. Can you provide us more detailed image of both front and back?

Default switched order of scans for better viewing

Not saying it is real, but to me it looks like the same font. I added another authentic back for comparison purposes along with the Cobb from the OP.

To me if you quickly scan from known authentic to the OP’s they don’t seem the same... if you placed the original post with 10 real ones and only looked at the box it would stand out like a sore thumb...to me. But by all means...go get it graded...waste more money.

You already spent 200 on the card. What's another 10 or 20 bucks to send it in? You can also send scans in to PSA for their quick opinion service first and see what they say. Or walk it into the show next month if you're in the Chicago area.

Put me in the fake department. The light gray in the uniform looks way too light to me and the dark gray areas should be streaky/dotted/lines, which is very easy to see under a bright light, but I don't see that at all in the OP's picture. Below is an authentic copy and closeup showing what I mean.

There's close to a 100% chance a competent grader will determine the card is what it is -- fake. There's around a 95% chance an incompetent grader will determine the card is what it is. In the very off-chance you get a numeric grade your card will be worth around $3,000. In the very high chance they determine it's not real the card will still be worth what it is now, around $3 for a mediocre fake of a high value card. You can calculate the expected value and make the choice on what to do next.

Outside of any debate on whether the card is fake or not, sometimes it's best to lean most on common sense in future questionable purchases. What are the chances that a dealer who knows enough to be aware of an iconic set/player like T206/Cobb will not bother to spend 30 seconds on the Internet to find out: 1) that it is not a T206?; 2) that if it was a T206 or E102, it would be worth around 20x what he sold it to you for in very low grade condition?

I don't mean this post to sound critical, just trying to help going forward.

Brian
If you look at the top two pictures where they are side by side... The "N" on "Shean" falls away on the bottom right on both, and the "A" in "Knabe" seems smaller than other "A"s, on both. I'm thinking the backs are very similar. I'd risk a few bucks and send it in. Upside is way bigger than downside.

Guys, it's not a real E102 Cobb that was mistakenly listed as a T206 that sold for under $200. It's fake. Take your loss or get a refund if you can. The corners aren't even naturally worn, they were cut with scissors.

The front scan was questionable/not conclusive, but the back is the dead giveaway that it's a fake. The card stock and printing is all wrong.

If you have a black light, that could answer the question. If its a fake, I'm guessing the paper with illuminate with the black light test.

Even worse, you’re letting the seller think it’s okay to do this again to rip off someone else. Tell him it’s fake, send it back, get your refund and keep an eye out for it again to warn others...

What else does the seller have for sale, it would help. He might have another E102 Cobb in the same condition, maybe even a T206 Wagner, a few 33 Goudey Ruth’s or a great looking 52 Topps Mantle for under $200.

Dude, I don't know you from a hole in the wall, but you have to see how your quote (above) now puts you in a very suspicious light. If you got ripped off by a scammer for $200 and you're just going to chalk it up to experience and do nothing about it, I imagine every single one of us is wondering if the 'fake' has been, in fact, yours all along and you posted the pics here to see if it was good enough to fool people. You can just throw $200 away?? This type of thing happens on the autograph side, where (probable) forgers will ask for opinions on big name signatures they are "thinking of buying" for the sole intent of seeing if their handiwork is getting good enough to trick the experts on the board. Again, to be clear, I don't know you, so I may be way off base, but I guarantee this is what most people are thinking at the moment.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

The OP mentioned previously he did not get card from ebay. Nor has he stated where in the heck it came from...

I don't think there will be a link to an auction anytime soon. I have to agree with Darren on this one.

Darren's skepticism is warranted. What's your response VWruss? Would love to hear details of the backstory or some verifiable info on the seller. "Gee shucks, how did I do on my tag sale purchase," is a yellow flag for a tagline -- if you knew enough to join this board I'm guessing you're very familiar with Google searches. "Live and learn" on throwing away ~$200 means you either have a great attitude and should be commended or Darren is likely right....
