I really hope he took Pete's advice and took the card back for a refund.

If you have a black light, that could answer the question. If its a fake, I'm guessing the paper with illuminate with the black light test.

I would hate for the guy to have a chance to do the same again. I'll just sit on the loss and learn from it. Thanks for the help.

Even worse, you’re letting the seller think it’s okay to do this again to rip off someone else. Tell him it’s fake, send it back, get your refund and keep an eye out for it again to warn others...

What else does the seller have for sale, it would help. He might have another E102 Cobb in the same condition, maybe even a T206 Wagner, a few 33 Goudey Ruth’s or a great looking 52 Topps Mantle for under $200.

Dude, I don't know you from a hole in the wall, but you have to see how your quote (above) now puts you in a very suspicious light. If you got ripped off by a scammer for $200 and you're just going to chalk it up to experience and do nothing about it, I imagine every single one of us is wondering if the 'fake' has been, in fact, yours all along and you posted the pics here to see if it was good enough to fool people. You can just throw $200 away?? This type of thing happens on the autograph side, where (probable) forgers will ask for opinions on big name signatures they are "thinking of buying" for the sole intent of seeing if their handiwork is getting good enough to trick the experts on the board. Again, to be clear, I don't know you, so I may be way off base, but I guarantee this is what most people are thinking at the moment.

The OP mentioned previously he did not get card from ebay. Nor has he stated where in the heck it came from...

I don't think there will be a link to an auction anytime soon. I have to agree with Darren on this one.

Darren's skepticism is warranted. What's your response VWruss? Would love to hear details of the backstory or some verifiable info on the seller. "Gee shucks, how did I do on my tag sale purchase," is a yellow flag for a tagline -- if you knew enough to join this board I'm guessing you're very familiar with Google searches. "Live and learn" on throwing away ~$200 means you either have a great attitude and should be commended or Darren is likely right....

It's a shame that's the first thought, this is just a scammer testing his work for opinions. I don't disagree that's likely the case.

Assuming he walked into a card or antique shop and thought this might be real 200 is not an unreasonable gamble. If this card is worth 4 or 5k if authenticated he only has to be right 1 in 20 or 25 times.

I'm glad you guys got me figured out. I'm new to the old card hobby and naively figured this place would be a good place for help with a card I just bought and honestly had reservations buying in the first place due to price. I bought the card in an antique store from a guy that sells civil war weapons and stuff. He only had a couple cards and none of those. Thanks for a great welcome to this forum.

Welcome ---don't let the "want a be" experts bother you. The example showing the print pattern is a excellent example to help you authenticate.

If your card doesn't show the dot pattern then the moderator's suggestion to try return the card is valid.

But I must add there are experts whom made a mistake on a photo I own.

Anyway let the comments roll off your back, what's life without taking a gamble.

Nothing matters if you like the card.

I didn't realize that. I've seen the service advertised but haven't really looked into it.
