That card to me does not look right to much hair on that back.....unless I could hold that card out of the holder I would put my wallet back in my front pocket.

Just my two cents Jamie for what ever that's worth and in today's economy I think its trading at about 1.2 cents as of Friday.

Cheers,

John

Seems a little fishy to me. I would want to examine it raw, see what the thickness feels like, and the texture of the back. But I'm not a bidder.

I'm bidding on a few cards in this auction and I passed right over the Cobb. It just doesn't look right. It looks as if its two cards pressed together to me. The areas that are missing printing on the front don't look like normal blank areas that result after chipping. To me it appears as if the front was skinned off and affixed to a blank. Given what I expect the top bid to be I don't feel it worth the risk, however, if you don't crack it out of the slab it'll hold it's value I suspect.

If that card was a Lajoie and not a Cobb, I would not bid on it.

Any examples of a non southern leaguer with 2 confirmed blank backs?

I'm beginning to worry this card is not legit.

If the winner of the card determines the card is altered, would the auction house be responsible to reimburse the winner?

Rob, excellent way to describe your reluctance to bid.
