Cobb/Cobb card in Goodwin Auction

[Jim VB]

Whatever the problem was, the price is now back up. (In fact, that item is listed twice.)

Let me add a bit to my personal assessment. I have not seen the Goodwin auctioned Cobb/Cobb in person. Ted Z has, and some others have, as well as PSA. I am sure the card is probably fine. I was just giving my semi-experienced (not near as much as some others on the board) opinion on the card. Bill Goodwin knows cards too so he must think it's good also. I certainly defer to their opinions more than mine on the authenticity and grade of this Cobb/Cobb. I am sure the buyer is happy. regards

I looked at it at the chicago show and it looked good to me. There are too many conspiracy theories recently. Please! If you have no clue, than don't make up sh*t. Dan

Yes, why would anyone question any high-dollar cards in today's hobby?

[chiprop]

rob - I agree that we should question questionable cards, but it seems like every high priced card is a problem lately. AND... not everyone that has commented knows what they are talking about. So, one more time, if you (understood you, not u personally) don't know what you are talking about stop making sh*t up.

I think most of the guys on here that have discussed the Cobb /Cobb back card know what they are talking about. Even a novice can look at at that card compared to other Cobb red portraits and see there are slight differences in the background coloration and overall registration and printing. I think it's totally valid to bring these points up whether the card is a high dollar example or not. You will never stop collectors or non-collectors from claiming something is wrong with certain graded cards. The controversy or part of it , lies in the fact that if one of these high dollar cards is discovered to be altered or not real the company that graded it could be out of business really fast. Collectors who have invested thousands on graded cards will undoubtedly be pissed off at such a revelation also. I've had discussions about it since the early 90's with other collectors, so it's nothing new. I have no problem with the price that the Goodwin card sold for, afterall it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it in the end.

Someone provided me a scan of a non glossy version of a Cobb/Cobb and the differences which have been pointed out on Goodwin's example are all present on this other example as well.
