Another day....another T206 Cobb fake
 
Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>A Red Cobb pictured with a Piedmont 150 back....an ABSOLUTE No-No. The only Piedmont backs this Cobb exists with are 350 and 460.<br /><br />This one is interesting in that the seller added a "possible reprint" statement after the bidding approached $200. Seller's profile appears<br />respectable, otherwise. This is more of a case of some ignorant bidders. <br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-TY-COBB-BASEBALL-CARD-97-PIEDMONT-BACK_W0QQitemZ180204083565QQihZ008QQcategoryZ86839 " target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-TY-COBB-BASEBALL-CARD-97-PIEDMONT-BACK_W0QQitemZ180204083565QQihZ008QQcategoryZ86839 </a><br /><br />T-Rex TED<br />

Posted By: <b>Anthony S.</b><p>I can pretty much confirm that this dealer is simply unfamiliar with vintage cards. She initially listed a 1911 T212 Obak last week as a T206 with an Obak back, and was very appreciative when I emailed her about the mistake.<br /><br /><br />Edit: Okay, after viewing the auction Steve linked just below my post, maybe this dealer knows exactly what he/she is doing...

Another day....another T206 Cobb fake
 
Posted By: <b>Iggy...</b><p>Not the same seller, but another day.....another obvious Joss, McGraw, Duffy, etc. fake reprint lot...being sold as the real deal...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/17-T206s-Cracker-Jack-and-more-over-7-000-BV_W0QQitemZ200188612337" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/17-T206s-Cracker-Jack-and-more-over-7-000-BV_W0QQitemZ200188612337</a><br /><br /><br />This same seller, also has 4 Mantle's up for sale. The Mantle's look legit at first glance, but I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot baseball bat... Especially, since they currently have a bid by ebay "reprint" seller "josefina1747", who, I believe, has recently been featured on Net54 for selling dubious reprints of her own.<br /><br /><br />By the way, bidding is sure getting interesting on the T206 "fake" Cobb. A little shill bidding didn't hurt, but that's okay, ebay doesn't mind. Not a bad return at all on that purported estate find... <br /><br /><br />-Lovely Day, Iggy...<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Well, with 4 days to go this fake Red Cobb (with a 150 back....Yikes !) is at $227.72.<br /> In the bad condition it's in....even if it was real, it wouldn't warrant that price.<br /> And, there are some bidders bidding on it who are not new to ebay.<br /><br />Here again is the link...... <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-TY-COBB-BASEBALL-CARD-97-PIEDMONT-BACK_W0QQitemZ180204083565" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-11-T206-TY-COBB-BASEBALL-CARD-97-PIEDMONT-BACK_W0QQitemZ180204083565</a><br />
