The T206 Ty Cobb is authentic. There are a number of important indicators but one of the most conclusive and easiest to see is the top right corner. Note the wear and the color of the paper stock under the thin, top layer that has worn away. That's exactly what it is supposed to look like. The printing, texture, reverse tobacco stains, etc., also are consistent with an authentic Polar Bear brand T206 Cobb.
The Cobb signature is not authentic. It is one of the least characteristic I have ever seen.
