E98 Collectors: Does this Cobb look real?--SALE CANCELED--

[Tim Kindler]

The print on the back of all e98s is a light brown, not a black. Sorry.

the tell-tale sign to me was the bright white color of the cardboard beneath that crease.

I am chastened
and feel like an idiot, deservedly so.

Thank you all for your input.
I hope not to repeat this again.

If it makes you feel any better, had it been real, I am pretty sure exposing your $100 win on the auction would have opened up for someone here to slide in and steal your deal. I am not sure how many or who would admit they would do it, but there is around 100% chance the offers to have them cancel your sale and sell to them would have existed. For that reason, these threads typically start after it is received, but then you would be 7-10 days with ebay getting your cash back through returns once confirmed as fake.
