There’s no way CSG actually graded this “T206 Cobb”…

[pokerplyr80]

I may have confused the issue by posting that fake Wagner. That was the card I was referring to. But in general I was just curious. If someone posts a fake raw card for a high price and it gets that authenticity guarantee someone is paying for that card to be shipped to the authenticator and back, and for that service. Who pays for it?

I own 80+ Cobbs T205s, T206s, T202s, etc... the CSG Red Cobb "1" looks perfectly fine to me. I've actually graded a number of cards with CSG (Andy Broome) and I think they do a pretty good job with the tobacco cards I've submitted to them. I also like their new holder. These guys are the #1 graders of comics, paper money and coins.... they have deep pockets and they know what they are doing. They'll be a major player down the road. Just my 2 cents worth.

FOr the record, I am a fan of CSG as well. Something about the card in the listing didnt look right to me though. If anything I believed the card to be fake, but I may be wrong. That back looked to me like that crackling you see on "aged" fakes.

I don't blame you. While the card on the CSG site looks good, the card in the listing either suffers from a very bad listing and photography job, a real bad photoshop job....or both.

Might be good, but the tones look much different, and I don't think I could take worse pictures of that slab and card if I tried.

Maybe they forgot to take a filter off their camera.

Like this guy.

It looks like a piece of shi^%$ to me.. In looking a bit more i guess it could be real, I think I would need to have it in hand to be sure...

Can't Fake the Paper ~ It's Real!

*How dare we question those that slab

[luciobar1980]

I guess if it's real, it's at least a UTLC..

Uniquely Terrible-Looking Card.
