Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>In my novice opinion, this e90-1 Cobb is a doctored reprint. The colour seems off, and the lettering doesn't look right to me.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1575760023" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1575760023</a><BR><BR>I could be wrong, but I sure as heck would not bid on this card. Any opinions?

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>Don't quote me on this (Whoops, I'm quoting myself) as I haven't owned an E90-1 in some time, but the printing does not appear to be consistant with the type of printing used on these types of cards. Along with other more obvious problems, the background on the front image appears to be made with techniques not commercially available in 1909.

(Technically, authentication and counterfeit/forgery detection are two different things-- but that's more a matter of theory than practice).
