Ty Cobb Suspicions/Newbie Representing the Ladies

[Deertick]

Welcome!
T206 looks to be an artificially aged reprint and the autograph is bad. You have good instincts.

[Brian Van Horn]

The T206 is good.

I don't have an opinion on the autograph.

The card looks fine, the sig not so much!

+1 "crease lines touched up",,,

Hi Kat, and welcome !!

I agree, the card looks ok and it is a possible front/back combination~ but I have absolutely no idea about the auto.

Great to have another T206 collector on the board Good luck hunting !!

Agree card looks good.

Autograph? I couldn't give an opinion.

Out of curiosity, what is an IHS Doctor?

Sig is no good

IHS = Indian (Native American) Health Services

My uncle was in IHS in Oklahoma, Washington state, and North Dakota.


Also welcome Kat,

The T206 Cobb appears authentic to me. The creases on the front and back match up. As noted in a previous post, Cobb Red Portrait and Polar Bear back are legitimate front back combos. The COBB, DETROIT on the front are the correct color and font (compare with the PSA graded Cobb Red Portrait Polar Bear I've attached). The back shows the factory info at the bottom. A lot of reprints will either not show the factory, or will have paper loss where the factory is suppose to show.

I don't know enough about autographs to comment on that.

Best Regards and Happy Collecting
