T206 cobb real?
 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WOW-1909-T20...item2c89072110

The back looked a bit odd to me.

Definitely not real. The lettering on the front name is wrong and the back is the wrong color.

13 bids... wow

Your instincts were correct, though the front gave it away in a millisecond. The font, color, size, wear are all indicators that this is an artificially distressed reprint.

I love this quote:

To answer everyone's question that I get all the time. Why didn't you get it graded. Well it would be a waste of time because I know it will grade poor. If I purchase a card graded I sale it graded. If I purchase one ungraded I sell it ungraded. Plus I don't like paying to have a card graded.

Nice bidding history by the current high bidder: 53 total bids spread among six different items, and a 100 percent bid activity with the seller. :rolleyes:

Yeah somehow he's sold 4 low grade cobb t205s in the last year and of the two I can see neither look good.

I was looking at that also. The 2 you can still view both look as fake as the T206.

Reported. Hopefully it will do some good.

My God, that is a terrible fake.

Den, check the backs gallery at T206RESOURCE.com. You can see what the real backs should look like. The Sweet Caps only come in red. And they all have the Factory number, District and State at the bottom.
Hope this helps. :)

Looks like a bad fake to me

Centauri 08-12-2014 03:19 PM
You guys are overlooking the very nice case. Would a counterfeiter use that nice of a case for a fake? I think not.

Louieman 08-12-2014 03:42 PM
You're totally right. Case unreported. I'm bidding $800 right now...what a case!

Econteachert205 08-12-2014 03:49 PM
Thanks Sean for the link. I do enjoy scouring ebay for these questionable t206's.

Sean 08-12-2014 04:31 PM
Try searching for "T206 Wagner." :rolleyes:
