Default Re-backed Cobb with Hindu Red on Ebay

Posted By: Art M. 

There is another T206 "creation" from our famous New York area card "inventor" (initials G.M.) currently on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2761831731&category=31718

This is the T206 Cobb, portrait green, that somehow has a Hindu red back. This front/back combination is impossible.

Remember too that this is the same seller that has in the past "discovered" these other impossibilities:

T206 Walter Johnson, portrait, with Broad leaf 350
T206 Cobb, bat on shoulder, with Carolina Brights
etc.,etc....

Sometimes he guesses right on the front/back combinations however; remember the Mastro auction that had a Cobb, portrait red, with Drum back?
That card was re-examined by PSA and Bill Mastro and determined to be rebacked (faked). And yes, it was consigned by our New York friend Mr. G.M.

Buyer (or private auction bidder) beware!
