Let's play name a problem with this card's authenticity.

I'll start with the most obvious:

1. No such thing as a red Sovereign.

Next?

Name and team are printed in black rather than brown.

1-7/16" by 2-5/8” would be correct dimensions but this one is off by 1/16"

There's (at least) one more whopper out there . . .

This particular Cobb pose (bat off) doesn't appear with a Sovereign 460 back.

Yes -- The whopper! There are other problems, of course.

Ive been off the board for some time ( but an an original member from when it started). The lady's auction is an entertaining read. Its a sign of the times. Alternate facts are in fashion. real knowledge would just get in the way.
