Although I try not to visit the memory too often, I once held a PSA 6 T227 Cobb, which for a while was the highest graded example around. It was by far the crown jewel of my collection at the time but is sadly gone consigned via Kevin Struss to Mastro 12 years ago, fetching about $5,000, as I recall.
This "example" is all wrong: faked creasing, washed out colors, and the clarity of a legitimate one's image; the faked is blurry - different pixels I would guess. I hope nobody bought it. Laser printers are adding a new level of sophistication to the villains counterfeiting tools as I found out the hard way when SGC rejected my Wolverine Cobb PC at the National. Just another cross to bear for those who have the huevos to acquire raw cards or PC's of top HOF'ers. I think I am out of that game, at least for a while.
