Does this t206 red cobb really look orange to anyone?

Doesn't look any different to me than this one...not described as orange?

Good observation Pete. I have seen an orange background Cobb over the years, & this still appears to have a red background.

[ullmandds]

there are certainly varying degrees of red with this cobb...just as there are shade variations with practically every t206...and there are really orange ones that should command a premium/increased demand.

But this one...not so much to even warrant being called orange...atleast to me. I'm guessing the consigner urged this?

The second one looks short to me - No doubt if I submitted it, SGC would send back "Auth"

2nd one does look short...but not trimmed...likely within normal t206 tolerances.

I just did a quick search for Cobb T206 Red and I was hard pressed to find a nice bright red Cobb T206. The colors generally run the range from Fire Engine red to a rust color like our 1st example to a bright solid orange.

chris...i'm not sure what to make of that one? scans aren't very good. to me...the black borders look suspicious...like maybe the card has been tampered with...but I wouldn't judge based on those images.

I see your point Pete, I could go either way on it. Let's just call it the burnt orange variation...

Burnt orange is my favorite color...and it's NOT even that!
