Well played my friend!

In addition to Ted's post #13 in this thread-- my Cobb reprint is slightly different. There is no C but the word reprint is at the bottom center on the back. Compare the listed Cobb with the attached pic-- especially the border above "Ty" and the "tr" in Detroit-- the fading is the same. Also look at the fading around the bat. The listing matches my reprint-- clearly a fake.

Sorry for the large whitespace in the image-- my first image post.

Almost every single E90-1 reprint (including Cobb) which you see on ebay will have a smudge or tiny paper loss where the "20" is on the back. That is the dead give away. The faked aging and wrong coloration are just icing on the cake.

I clicked on the links and they are still there, with the WaJo ending with no bids and Cobb being shown as SOLD. Someone will obviously get hosed if this transaction is not somehow preempted. Or best case, the one bid is a shill.

Well, I contacted him a day or so ago as well, twice, letting him know they were fakes. He didn't respond. I think it's safe to say that he had plenty of notice.
