ALERT....Re-fronted (re-backed) Green Cobb with a Red HINDU back at the National

[tiger8mush]

the scary part is that the green cobb / red hindu fake was so good that it took a lot of scrutiny for it to get rejected.

Is the same amount of time being put in by the TPGs when they look at lower-value submissions, like a low-grade T206 of Matty or WJ with a common back that sells for a few hundred bucks?

Thanks Tim for the response.

And I tend to think the Red Cobb/Red Hindu is legit. It's just my opinion, nothing more.

POST SCRIPT....in the past year I have been privy to certain inside info regarding this red HINDU red Cobb card which further reinforces my skepticism of it.


TED Z (quote, post#10)

Is this information classified? Please share with us what you know?

The source of the "inside info" regarding this particular Cobb card asked me not to reveal his name or the details of it.
He is a very well-respected person in the hobby who has some very interesting knowledge on the history of this card.

Anyhow, it's my understanding, that there are others in the hobby who also know of the details and may chime in here.

Ted Z-

This is a frustrating thing- it's like "why bring it up then?"

I stand corrected on my earlier post in this thread. I received a phone call today telling me the card in question has potential dubious beginnings and is not trustworthy. I did not know this before today. The card is most likely not good and the person who bought it from REA has been apprised of the situation. I don't really know any more details that are firm so that is all I will say for now. I feel it important to correct myself when I find new information out. I learn something new everyday. regards

Did you bother to read this post by Leon ?

As I understand it, Leon's post is very similar to mine. Perhaps Leon will provide you a more satisfactory answer.

I respect the privacy of my source and will not reveal any more than what I have already said.

Sorry to quote this again, but here's one of the problems with this situation. We have a card that is a possible front & back combo, in a graded TPG holder (I know I know), and we have a "very well-respected person in the hobby" who gives you "inside information" and asks you not to reveal his name or any of the details.

I guess I'm confused about why the shroud of secrecy regarding the card?

Wouldn't a well respected person in the hobby want the details of this card to be known about by anyone who collects these cards ?

This can easily be done while remaining anonymous.

And, if the card is not legit- wouldn't PSA buy the card back from the current owner and destroy it?
