OK....here is the "specifics" why the E90 Cobb is a REPRINT....check out the upper left area on the back of this card and you will find evidence of paper loss.

E90's were reprinted some years back. And, in that upper left area on the backs of all these reprints is the letter "C". Therefore, and I've seen this before on
ebay, the seller will scrape off the "C"....leaving a small area of paper loss.

It's as easy as that to detect these reprints. Furthermore, when you compare an original E90-1 card to these reprints, you will see that the reprint is a tad
smaller than a real E90.

Otherwise, some of the fronts of these reprints that I have seen are pretty good replicas. If I was at home I'd scan a Cy Young I have to illustrate what I've
described here.

Thanks Tony, Dan, and Ted. As I said, I could tell because it just didn't look right but couldn't put my finger on why. Now I know.

Every one of these sellers has the same story....I took them to an expert, he guaranteed they were real, therefore you're an idiot for telling me they're fake. It's a broken record with these guys.

For what it's worth, I reported them both.
