Robert A, you asked........

" I thought there was a confirmed Cobb Red Hindu?

Was that card deemed rebacked or what?

Cobb Red Portrait/Red Hindu with Cobb Bat On/Brown Hindu would be another pair wouldn't it? "



1st....are you referring to this recently posted Cobb of mine ?

Or, have you seen this Cobb with a Brown HINDU back elsewhere ? ?




If it is this one that you are referring to, then I will tell you that it is a "re-backed" card that I acquired about 10 years ago.
In the late 1990's a rash of re-backed T206 star cards appeared in the hobby. These cards were very professionally altered
and some even were graded by SGC and PSA. Two of the most "notorious" T206's were a Red Cobb with a DRUM back and a
Matty (portrait) with a Red HINDU back. The latter being an impossible front/back combo.

2nd....that brings me to the recent Red Cobb/Red HINDU card you alluded to. Frankly, I am very skeptical about this card as
being a authentic. I would like to see at least one or two more of these to feel confident that this front/back combo is real.


Thanks for raising this issue regarding the Cobb's. For some time, I have been doing some research on the lack of Cobb cards
with HINDU backs. And, I will be posting a thread on this subject soon.
