You are spot on!

I hadn't read your post, and went straight to giving my take after I saw the initial post. Now that I see what you wrote, all of the same points of concern are indeed there.

Bottom line.... far more disclosure is needed for this obvious anomaly. Both by PSA and Heritage... especially given the price someone is about to pay!

No way in Hell would I risk this kind of money for this piece.....I have had a bunch of Cobb's over the years, but this one just doesn't look right to me...

I'm in the camp that it's authentic as well. Beautiful item.

Paul - there are always second and third mortgages. It belongs in the collection!

It certainly would fit nicely in that empty slot in my signed T206 collection, but I’m gonna pass. If only more people thought it was fake, retraced, ugly, . . .

Paul... this is your wheelhouse. What do you think? Of course almost anyone would kill to own this piece, and it would certainly be the centerpiece of any signed baseball card collection.

But do you think the base of the "T" is part of the original autograph, or is it likely re-traced? And if it's re-traced, do you think Cobb or perhaps someone else did it?

I think its 50/50... could've been Cobb correcting a weak ink-flow or pen skip, or it could've been a former owner just making that portion bolder after the fact. Eager to hear your thoughts on this one.

Obviously a very cool piece...but if I'm spending that kind of money, I just can't get excited about autographs that are faded or light, sorry. I want them as bold as possible.

It’s not retraced. Look at the second apostrophe in the little quote marks he made in the flourish or paraph after his signature. It’s just as dark as the stick in the T. To me it’s a normal fountain pen signature, and the ink flow, uneven pressure, and perhaps even some fading over time caused the stark discrepancy in tone.
