Reprising the recent Red Cobb survey....with new info

There are no unique front/back combos in the T206 world. Where there is one, there has got to be another.

Yes, some T206 veteran collectors question this card. This is understandable, in light of several T206's that
have been re-backed, or otherwise tampered with, to increase their value. Furthermore, many of these fakes
have been graded....some even twice graded.

Here are 4 recent examples just for starters......

1....A T206 Matty portrait with Red HINDU back (an impossible front/back combo) was first graded as a PSA7.
When questioned, the owner submitted this card to SGC and it was graded SGC50. Eventually, it was proven
to be a fake.

2....A T206 Cobb (bat off) with a Piedmont 150 back (an impossible front/back combo). Graded by PSA.

3....A T206 Joe Doyle error card with a faked "Nat'l", and a Polar Bear back (an impossible front/back combo)
was graded by PSA. Apparently, the grader was unaware that this card exists only with a Piedmont 350 back,

4....A T206 Joe Doyle error card with a faked "Nat'l" caption was graded by one of the top grading company's.


As I said, let's wait and see if another Red Cobb with a red HINDU back shows up.
