Could this be a real Cobb auto?

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?

[perezfan]

$300 might be a tad low (if it were real, which it's not).

I think $400 - $450 would be the going price for that particular example... just beacause the auto is strong, condition is good, and the medium is somewhat interesting.

So for $28, which is what the Cobb receipt is bid to now, it might not be a bad deal to "fill a hole" in one's collection until a real one is available.

I guess Coach's Corner is useful for people who can't afford real autos to get started cheaply in the hobby. Then once you have money you can replace their stuff with real autos. In that sense CC is filling a sort of market niche, they should however just label everything as "reproduction" to be more honest. Maybe Morales's certs actually say in the fine print that the items are repros.
