New Member - Thoughts on Green Portrait Cobb?

[chipperhank44]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to vintage collecting, but am a long time collector. I just recently traded away all my remaining modern cards for a 51 Bowman Mantle, so I figure my collection is now 100% vintage and a vintage forum is where I belong.

I've owned some cards from the 30's and 40's but have, like most, fallen in love with the t-206 set and want to get started. I have the opportunity to buy a Ty Cobb Green Portrait with a Piedmont back, factory 25. The card is raw and while from a reliable source, I still would like to do my due diligence and get some other opinions on its authenticity (I realize its just a picture, but your initial thoughts are valuable). I apologize for the poor quality photos, but this is all I have until I can view the card in person (don't worry, not purchasing until I examine in person).

I definitely appreciate all the experience on this board and hope I can add to the expertise as I learn more.

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
