eBay T206 Cobb - real or fake

[tonyo]

I've only been doing this for a year and a half, but some things that would keep me from bidding are: the same bidder with low feedback has bid on this a dozen times in $5 or so increments. Smells like a possible shill.

Also, there is no way that an authentic Red Cobb listed properly would slip through the cracks on ebay. Keep an eye on it, but if that card doesn't approach $700 to $900 in the next 20 hours, then I personally would stay away. (Unless maybe the fact that it is trimmed would keep the winning bid low, but I still think that card would be no less than $400 to $500 even if trimmed). The vintage card community will let very very few bargains slip by.

Also, he has a 51 Bowman Williams at $10 from the same box that no one has bid on. It is probably a reprint as well and all the 51 bowman collectors would have bid on this card too.
