Default Curious About This Red Portrait Cobb
Seller with 0 feedback and light bidding, I stayed away from this one but curious what anyone thinks of this one. It looks like maybe, possibly it could be legit?

I don't see obvious tells of it being fake...like black lettering on the front . I am pretty sure the pinholes are real.

Hard to tell with those two scans. Not graded, zero feedback, "no returns" – too many red flags.

He calls it original so it doesn't matter if he accepts returns really. When it arrived I would record the opening of the empty envelope though...

What do you do with that?

Does EBay have a place to upload a video or do you have to go to the police station, spend half a day trying to get one of them to care about it by watching your video so you can get your 150 dollars back?

It's a fake. If you look closely at the surface of the card, you'll see what I call "surface cracks" that you are very common on fakes, but you'll never see on a legit T206.

Everyone is overlooking the fact that it is from the

Harmon Kalebrewe Collection.

If it got down to a claim you could email the video to ebay or to paypal.
