Curious of the darker edges. I would not want it personally, but it could be the scan etc. It is in a PSA holder so it must be legit.....hmmmm.

hey leon-
this card is reminiscent of the gelman "fire sale" t206's.
seller has had several nice cobbs available recently...
I believe it is real, but it sold for more than I thought it would.

I was watching it - something about it didn't seem quite right. Can't put finger on it. I haven't seen a Pied Fact 42 in this card come up before - I didn't know there were any?

There are a few but the others are not trimmed like this one. Top border and to the left is trimmed.

There was one sold recently- maybe in the Wheatland auction? And I know Jaime has one in his back run.

As for this card, it looks real, and I think that it sold for a pretty low price.

Nice example. The red Cobb is one of the more common 42's yet one of the most popular. Good but fair price.

I was watching the "Green" Cobb in particular, It had a nice front, but the back either had some staining or else. It was hanging in the 8-900 range..i was pondering a bid.
Also another board member, that I Pm'ed was was also watching the 'green' -I don't know if he bid or not.
BTW- I did see the 'RED" Cobb...I passed on it, not saying anything was wrong with it, maybe better eye appeal was what I was looking for or a more rare back.

I agree with Adam, it's one of the most common 42's. There was a survey on net54 several years ago about the Red Cobb backs, and piedmont 42, if memory serves had a dozen or so examples. I can't seem to locate that thread, but I believe Ted started it.

I was watching this card and thought that it was a great price for a card with such a clean portrait.
