Curious about this T206 Cobb W/Lenox back....

The Surgeon General has declared that "reading this thread is hazardous to your sanity".

First, recall that there have been many re-backed (or altered) cards that have been GRADED by both PSA
and SGC these past 10 years.
Here are four of the more notable examples that come to mind......

PSA graded fakes......
----
T206 Cobb (bat off) with a Piedmont 150 back....impossible F/B combo

T206 Doyle error card with POLAR BEAR back......Doyle error card exists ONLY with the PIEDMONT 350 back


SGC graded fakes......
----
T206 Matty (portrait) with Red HINDU back........impossible F/B combo

T206 Doyle error card with caption.."Nat'l" added on the common Joe Doyle card


So, "targeting" this Cobb/LENOX card because it was GAI graded is really laughable. I have no favorites in
Grading game. As most of you know, I'm not that keen on Graded cards, 99% of my collection is in plastic
sheets in binders. However, some of the posts here regarding this Cobb card are ridiculous.

Now, I don't know BRIAN E......but, I do know BRIAN W, and he has provided scans and the history of this
Cobb card. Furthermore, BRIAN W says...."The card is legit and so is Brian (E)".

That's good enough for me and should be for all who have posted on this thread.....case is closed.....this
card is an Authentic T206 Cobb with a rare LENOX back ! !

Some of the posts on this thread illustrate the utter insanity of trying to compare various Grading Company's.
Now, let's get back to some meaningful discussions on Vintage BB cards on this forum.
