Help! Are these authentic?
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am wondering if these cards appear to be authentic. I’m not very experienced in these. I was going to send to SGC but I figured I’d ask some experts first!

No, the Pete and Jerry back is a known Etsy fake.

Thank you

Tell the seller you're willing to pay grading fees and if they come back Auth you'll pay his price.

I got these in an estate. There’s more of them but I’m just not sure. The collection was pretty strong without these so these would be the icing on the cake!

The Pete and Jerry (not a known back) card is riddled with squiggle lines, visible on this one on both front and back, that many fakes have (and never seen on authentic cards).

So assume the other Cobb and remaining cards are fakes as well?

Brian, I agree that the Queen City Cigar Store card of Cobb is a fake. But, what do you mean by "(not a known back)"?

Great card Val.

Thanks, Phil. A Net54 board member very kindly traded it to me last year to help me with my Sam Rice master set pursuit.

The problem is that a TPG could still give them a numerical grade……

True, wonder whatever happened to that Mack.

These are very poor fakes, it’s a safe bet any not pictured are most likely fake also.

Val, of course I meant not a known back...to me. Now I know it...wow, what a great rare back card! I guess I have not been paying enough attention to all the E121 offshoot backs.

Being that guy here, but a black light will "paint" any post-WWII repros.
