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

[tedzan]

Error in posting.

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.

Hey Art, are you still working on a Tigers master set?

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".

Ted, I'm confused. I thought that the point of this thread was that you didn't know if the Cobb/Lenox existed. So what do you mean by "the last time (it) was seen was in 2003"?

[ullmandds]

He is implying the one seen in 2003 was fake.

I shall try to un-confuse you. This is the 36th year that I have been collecting T206's; and, until Art posted this Cobb (bat off shoulder) with a black LENOX back....I had not seen one.

Art told me that this Cobb first appeared at least 15 years ago. And, that these f/b scans of this Cobb date back to 2003. That is the last time this Cobb has been seen.
