Ty Cobb Golden Sporting Shoes store display

Both of these recently sold at auction. However, as you can see, there are several differences between them. Are both legitimate? Does anyone know anything about these?

Were these sold at an auction house or on ebay? The bottom one obviously looks too good to be true but I know that these are often reproduced and I personally stay away.

The first one sold recently on ebay. The second sold in the December Legendary auction, I believe part of the Bill Mastro collection.

Well, since the color item went for $15K in a Legendary auction, and the black and white went for less than $500 on ebay...I'll go with the color item being the real one. But honestly, unless you had them in hand, I don't know how you could tell from a scan. However, the black and white would be easier to fake.

I stand corrected...no wonder it sold for 15k it's fantastic! You do see 'em pop up on ebay frequently which is enough to raise suspicion.

The person who sold the black and white one on eBay is currently selling a Tuxedo advertising sign. They previously bought two reproduction signs/posters from style_quest yet ANOTHER seller who frequently sells fake items.

Here is a list of sellers who OFTEN sell items that look too good to be true:

myjunk66 out of Ohio

acofind out of Indiana (also has eBay ids of fourducks and theolestuff)

style_quest out of Indiana

lour24i3d out of Indiana (mixes fake stuff in with real items)
