Default Ty Cobb look real?

Posted By: robert a

It's real and it looks like brown lenox which is great, but I think it's possible that the cobb has been rebacked.

It's discolored and darkened all the way around the edges. The "stain" on the front looks like a glue soak to me that is evident on the back as well.

The corners look like they've been evened out to make up for any overlap or mismatch. Doesn't appear to be your average corner wear.

Looks like a professional job though.

With most rebacks, the people waste their time putting together an impossible combo but if this is a reback this person was finally smart about putting together a possible combo.

Of course I might be wrong and hope so for the guy who owns it sake. It's an important T206 find!
