That PSA5 is W W !

Scot- great Cobb...is it your scanner that makes it look photoshopped? the colors are very smooth, like it's been airbrushed.

[sreader3]

Hi Michael,

I used "Auto-Denoise" function on my scanning software.

I don't know if that counts as "photoshopped" in your book.

Scanner: Canon CanoScan 8800F

Scot

(Not hoping to start a conversation on scanning here . . . .)

[MVSNYC]

Hi Scot, was just merely asking if that was the way the card appeared in person, or rather a result of a scanner setting...seems like the latter. Again, stunning card, nonetheless.

ETA- no need to discuss beyond this post.

[sreader3]

Michael,

I have found that my scanner under default settings doesn't capture how my cards look "in-person" at all.

So I think your "in-person" v. "scanner settings" is a false dichotomy.

But whatever.

IMO, it does not exist....

[tedzan]

OK, do we conclude that this Cobb was never printed with the Black LENOX back....or, that there just isn't any interest here regarding this front/back combo ?

Honestly guys, I really don't understand why there have not been more responses from the T206 expertise on this forum regarding this subject ? ?

Let's give this thread one more try. A friendly bump with the Cobb (bat off shoulder) from my all-SOVEREIGN set.

good info Scot...

Sorry Ted, but I don't have one, and I've never seen one.

It has been a week since I posted this thread, and I'm surprised that there are so few responses. So, I'm beginning to suspect that the T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) card
does NOT exist with a Black LENOX back. However, I am a persistent dude, therefore......

REWARD......I am offering $200 to any one on this forum who can produce a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card....or, verifiable proof thereof.


Meanwhile, please continue to show us your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards with their various T-brand backs.

I'll continue here with this Cobb from my SWEET CAPORAL 460, Factory #42 (overprint) sub-set.

WOW !

Even with a serious REWARD of $200, there are no responses to this request. Yes, I (and at least 14 other long-time T206
collectors) do NOT believe this front / back combo was printed.

But, we are not certain of this. For we can never be sure what surprises The Monster still has in store for us.


Anyhow, feel free to post your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards here, especially those with tougher backs.


Here is an OLD MILL from my T206 collection......

Ted,

If I photographed myself standing in front of a mirror holding my cobb to expose both sides simultaneously, would that constitute verifiable proof or simply pornography.

I've been trying to solve this Cobb/LENOX mystery for some time now.

Your humor here made me smile.....THANKS.


Frank....if in your numerous travels you are in Pennsylvania, you are very welcome to check-in to the "Hotel Zanidakis".

And,
you can check-out anytime you like. But, you can never leave

Error in posting.

Here is my PIEDMONT Cobb from my all-PIEDMONT set. It is the 5th and the last of my Cobb's with this pose. So, this
may be my last bump of this thread. Perhaps, this time some one in Net54-land will chime in and solve this mystery.

I really do not understand why there have not been many more meaningful inputs to the question regarding this Cobb
with (or without) a Black LENOX back ?

I find this to be very strange....given the "T206 power" that resides in this forum ! ?
