Take a look at this Cobb
 
Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p><br /><br />Do the sides look handcut to you? Top trimmed? I'm not all that familiar with this issue so maybe they come that way. Any comments?<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1912-T227-Series-of-Champions-Ty-Cobb-Chief-Bender_W0QQitemZ8795426014QQcategoryZ86841QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1912-T227-Series-of-Champions-Ty-Cobb-Chief-Bender_W0QQitemZ8795426014QQcategoryZ86841QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>All of those cards look very odd to me. Wavy cuts, faded colors, I would stay clear of them.

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>Ben, I think that's just poor cropping by the seller. The edges are decent upon zooming.

Posted By: <b>Joe Jones</b><p>Must be bad scans as well. The color is very light.

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>there's no way that's a cropping issue. If it were the edges would be straight and even. I will agree that the faded look may be due to poor scanning but not those edges.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The strange color alone would keep me from bidding, but also what he sells. He has only 5 PreWar items out of almost 400, and best item is a T206 McGinnity (looks trimmed). His other scans have normal color, and he has a few graded cards, why are these a strange color, and why not have these graded????<br /><br />Im not sure, but I dont even think the T227s are authentic.<br /><br /><br /><br />edited to add images<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/t227cobbfake.jpg"> <img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/t227cobb.jpg"><br />Frank

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>I agree - they all looked very phony to me. In addition, if you look close at some of the edges, it almost appears as though its a color print on paper that has been glued onto some cardboard (some of the edges appear to have a double line to them - look at the bottom edge of the cobb card).
