It is hard to say without the proper forensic scans and certification. If only there was a company that could provide that service.

Ignoring the description which reeks of a scam....
Just looking at the scans... Its not easy to tell, but the caption on the Cobb seems too condensed (squished). Would need bigger scans to be sure.

You had me at ALL CAPS.

Actually, the cards don't look bad to me from what can be seen from the photo, but I would not trust the seller at all. My guess is it is a stolen scan.

By the way, what does "PASTED" mean? I feel like I am a pretty educated guy, but don't know that word.

I think it's the past tense of passed. The one thing going for these cards is that they weren't found in the attic.

Interesting fakes. I can't recall borders quite that big on any reproductions that appear as nice as these do.

Nobody mentioned that they have no feedback for a year. Hijacked account? Or just someone like me that stopped selling for awhile?
Of course I haven't stopped buying.....

I'd be more inclined towards good cards from a stolen image than fakes.

Either way I don't think the "winner" will ever see them.

I agree; this is probably a hijacked eBay account. The cards look real to me. After looking at this auction, I was reading the eBay Buyer Protection FAQs and saw this: "Once we've confirmed the item was returned to the seller, you'll receive a refund into your PayPal account." Maybe this is how the scammer's win? You only get your money back once the item has been shipped, received and signed for by the seller. If it's a fake address, or a hijacked address, then you're at a loss.

If he sold them at different times and up'd the resolution and contrast a smidge, he would have done much better $$.

Front and back, the cuts are too similar, as well as the bbw borders.

Too tough to make out a big D or C.

Otherwise, Well done with the aging and toning. $500 dollars!

I borrowed a couple of real T206 Cobb and Young pics from eBay and put them next to "grandpaw's" cards (after resizing). The fake cards (middle pic) looked washed-out to me. Typical of a copy machine (aka Kinko) modern reproduction.

Lovely Day...
