Some Cards at a Local Auction

Could you help tell me whether these are authentic?

I'll let others respond with certainty, but all look like reprints to me. And all come from sets that are known to have been reprinted (Ruth and Gehrig for sure. The Cobb reprint is less common, I believe.)

I googled them and the ruth and gehrigs do not look like the graded examples I saw. But I can't tell whether the cobb is.

The Gehrig and Ruth are definitely fake. The Cobb looks better but I am going to guess that it is also not good...The borders on the Cobby don't look as white as I am used to, relative to the card itself....

Anybody notice they all have the exact same discoloration on the corners even though they are different sizes. Somebody was trying a little too hard to make them look legit.

They really do not look good to me, the Cobb may trick a few and Leon is right you can really tell by looking at the corners!

Take care

Cobb is also too grainy

The Ruth is a hatchet job. The corners are clipped, not rounded, and you can see where he whited out or erased the word reprint from its normally found spot in the lower right corner.
