For what reason did you report the Cobb card? What specific ebay policy did the listing violate?
I ask because I frequently report bogus Cobb listings IF they violate a specific ebay policy. Otherwise they will not remove the listing.
First, is an authenticity disclaimer used? This would violate an ebay policy. This listing does not have an authenticity disclaimer. Quite the contrary, the seller states the card is authentic. We know it's not, but the seller doesn't state "I don't know if it is authentic or not" or "as is", rather they state is is authentic.
Second, is shill bidding involved? I would say yes, but when you look at the bidding and selling history of the individuals involved, it isn't transparent.
So my final comment is, after watching bogus Cobb auctions over the past six months, reporting them and seeing what stays listed and what gets booted, I personally think Ebay will let this listing ride.
