Careful, there's a bad ad backed S74 Cobb silk on Ebay!

Sorry, don't know how to attach a link to the Ebay listing but, there's a seller named bonds732001 who has a Ty Cobb - Old Mill backed silk up for sale on Ebay at a BIN of $250 at Listing #111059462377. The silk itself looks legit but, the back doesn't fit quite right and it is definitely an attempt at re-attachment. Can definitely tell because the ad back is actually off one of the actress silks and not even from another ballplayer silk.

I already contacted the seller and informed him of the error. He said he bought it that way and will wait to see if he takes it down or at least corrects the listing. Just a heads-up for everyone.

The seller has now made mention in his description that he was informed by another collector that it may be an incorrect back.

Looks like and actress gave her spot to save a Cobb thank goodness

Probably not a deliberate fraud/mislead since they failed to scratch out the "actress" on the back, and it didn't come from their grandpas attic or basement.

Hmmmm, seller must've changed description. I no longer see a mention.

I looked again after seeing your post, and you're right. The seller apparently reconsidered full disclosure; it was there earlier.
