Looking for a 2nd example of the T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card

[frankbmd]

Ted,

If I photographed myself standing in front of a mirror holding my cobb to expose both sides simultaneously, would that constitute verifiable proof or simply pornography.

I've been trying to solve this Cobb/LENOX mystery for some time now.

Your humor here made me smile.....THANKS.


Frank....if in your numerous travels you are in Pennsylvania, you are very welcome to check-in to the "Hotel Zanidakis".

And,
you can check-out anytime you like. But, you can never leave

Here is my PIEDMONT Cobb from my all-PIEDMONT set. It is the 5th and the last of my Cobb's with this pose. So, this
may be my last bump of this thread. Perhaps, this time some one in Net54-land will chime in and solve this mystery.

I really do not understand why there have not been many more meaningful inputs to the question regarding this Cobb
with (or without) a Black LENOX back ?

I find this to be very strange....given the "T206 power" that resides in this forum ! ?

I don't see the prior post. But isn't that what Ted is looking for?

Note to Ted: I don't post on these threads since I don't have anything to add. But that doesn't mean I'm not following or interested. I'm sure there are others like me.

There are many of us in the same boat, I'm sure.

Yeah, looks like one has been posted.

Looks re-backed to me.

The last time this Cobb/LENOX was seen was in 2003. This date is well within the timeframe (1999 - 2006) of when that "rash" of "re-backed" (I refer to them as RE-FRONTED,
since this best describes how those T206 fakes were actually implemented) appeared in the hobby.

And, as you well know, we were able to detect those RE-FRONTED fakes since the majority of them had impossible front/back combos. However, those fakes were so sharp that
even the Grading Company's were fooled.

I don't think that this Cobb/LENOX card fits into the RE-FRONTED category. Every one of those RE-FRONTED fakes were professionally produced to grade at least a VgEx to ExMt
condition.

Anyhow, feel free to explain why you think this card appears to be "re-backed".
