The consigner of the REA Red Hindu Cobb told me that he first saw the card (raw) when it walked into a show in the 80's. I was with him when he purchased it in 2003/4 and he told me it was the same card. I personally held onto the card for a few weeks before the card was sent to REA. I have seen re-backed cards, and I can tell you that it would be really hard to make a card look like this did from 2 separate pieces of cardboard.
