Is this ty cobb fake?

[vintagerookies51]

Thanks for the input everyone. I was the owner of this card for the past few years. I think I bought it around 2013. I did buy it from someone who I thought was a reputable dealer, so this is weird for me. The OP and I worked out a trade to get the card back in my hands. I'm the last person to recognize any PSA case tampering. While it is very suspicious, I do know T206s very well and this one looks good in person. Why an authentic Cobb would be in a case that was tampered with is beyond me, but I will crack it out and keep it in my raw collection for awhile, and maybe try to submit to PSA in the future. Again, thanks everyone for their opinions on the card. Just wanted to get the story out there before anyone starts assuming things, because I have posted this card here several times before...

Cole is a stand up guy. Once I notified him of the potential problem he worked quickly to rectify the issue.

Well said Cole. Simply send it back in and get it re-holdered. Let us know the outcome.

I'd pass without thinking twice. The creasing/paper loss damage on the front looks way too white in some spots which screams fake to me.

Buy a loupe and compare the printing on this card to a common raw T206. It will take you about 30 seconds to determine whether or not it is real.

It may seem odd, but that's what that sort of damage looks like a lot of the time.
My first T206, bought ....late 77 maybe early 78 and certainly real.

The difference, at least to my eye, is that the card which you posted has the same color in the creases as the border. The Cobb has multiple shades of white in the creases, and they don't all match the border color. Imo that leads me to believe that it is fake. Of course many on this board are far more knowledgeable than I am. Just throwing in my 2 cents.

I vote real card, resealed holder.
