My original comment from the Demmit, O’Hara and Cobb thread.
Wonka:
“All 3 are tough in there own way..finding a centered Green Cobb is a lot tougher than one would think.”
Ted Z:
Green Cobb's centering is a function of it's T-back Approximately 95 % of the Green Cobb cards that have the PIEDMONT 150 back are off-center as mine is (shown here). If centering
of this T206 Cobb is important to you, then look for a PIEDMONT 350, or SOVEREIGN 150, or SWEET CAPORAL 150/350, or OLD MILL,or Brown HINDU..........Note..SOVEREIGN 350 does not exist.
Wonka:
Ted,
In regards to Green Cobb not so sure on the 95% number perhaps you meant for the most part or in your experience unless you have had 100% of all P150 Cobb’s...
As for Brown Hindu unless you found something we all should know about including yourself I wouldn't know if they are centered or not as I’m pretty sure they don’t exist. I even think you agree…
Ted Z:
Hey Wonka…..
YOU PASSED THE TEST !
I threw that "Brown HINDU" Cobb out there to see how long it would take before someone caught me on this?
I took 2 hrs and 19 mins.....very slow response.

Barry nobody has ever doubted that Green Cobb's are OC in fact I will say that even other brand backs from the 150 are found more towards the top etc. not just P150.
But we start tossing numbers around on here as fact and then these start showing up in our daily collecting lives. Next time one of you goes to buy a centered Cobb or sees one on ebay the seller will be asking an even higher premium as 95% of all of them are OC.
Tim is exactly correct with my issue here and it was my only issue, that is until Ted started making it more personal and claming there was a covert attempt by fellow members to destroy him...
