Because it's a fake?

I just lit into this guy with a private message about the Cobb (bat off) card he had on Ebay. It was clearly a reprint & it was doctored similar to the green Cobb card here . Calling these fraud-clowns, out is one way to clean up the hobby. He has since taken the card down & it's no longer available. He clearly had shilling going on to get the price up too. Good riddance!

I doubt this gets by anyone here. The crisp white edges and the tell tale staining in the manufactured creasing stand out at first glance without further inspection. Add eBay, raw and green Cobb to those and there's no question.

We have gotten tons of new registrants since the pandemic. Way more than normal. A lot of them are modern guys getting into vintage. I think these kinds of threads do help, if not the experienced, then definitely the newcomers.
