Could this be a real Cobb auto?

the chances of CC selling an authentic Cobb auto. are as good as the Houston Astros winning 3 straight World Series.
This one is NG.

Based on what I've seen, that would be the general rule for their Ruth, Gehrig, King Kelly, Joe Jax, Matty, and Joe Kelley as well, among many others.

The "salesman sample" rings are also notable, as if Balfour or Jostens would produce any rings, salesman samples or not, that look as if the mold was melting when cast.

Not to mention the forger was a bad person with Math. the adding of 5.75 and .42 equals 6.17, NOT 6.27

Utter Garbage, but you can still bid on this, dated and all.

As bold as the day they were signed!!

And nobody will notice the dates are in the exact same hand, naah!

I for one think The Mathewson was in fact signed on 8/14/13...................... 8/14/2013 that is

I love how the "t" in Mathewson was crossed twice (and in two separate ways). It takes a rare breed of forger to trace over his own work

If the Cobb receipt from Jack Dempsey's was real, what would it be worth? Cobb autos are not really all that rare, are they? I was thinking like 300 to 500 bucks but am curious what the experts here think?
