It's a poor likeness of Cobb...and when you think about it, why bother? Does the hobby need this? Is it supposed to be a 1951 Bowman of Cobb? I don't get it.

I agree with Barry and Paul on the likeness not being close. And why would you want a Cobb in the 51 Bowman style? The Helmars are beautiful cards and the series fit the player's time period. This one doesn't appeal to me at all.
Thanks. AndyH .

The Helmars at least have really beautiful artwork. This Cobb doesn't even compare.

I generally do not like cards of players made AFTER their playing days.
There are a few exceptions, the Ruth Leaf, the Ruth 1962 Topps sub-series, etc, but in general, cards like the Cobb here i just dont care for. I will admit, the Helmars as we have previously discussed are neat but too expensive.

poehouseb.jpg I voted yes on the non-distressed Cobb. I also like the ones Mr. Lemke made/makes and I liked the t213-1 Joe Jackson Mr. Z posted a while back. Would still rather have a vintage card like this gold border Helmar Poe.
