Mike, I am curious to learn. Where does the original info come from that states it is a fantasy piece (no bashing here, I want to learn). It is in my possession now, it is a "heavy" piece and in my opinion (which is probably worthless) wouldn't it be expensive to make a die of this item, produce it, market them, and for the collecting world (like us) not to have seen "multiples in mass" of this item out there?? I did a Google search and it returned 2 of these, a white backed one and mine, which is a red enamel. Just trying to figure out as a fantasy piece why someone would go through the cost involved in making such a beautiful piece and not making it readily available. It isn't like I paid a fortune for this, actually very little, but it is a gorgeous piece of Cobb memorabilia, IMHO.
