The seller's title is... 1909 Ty Cobb T206 Rare King Of Tobacco
a simple google search of this phrase would instantly tell you that you have a $100k card (very first link when I did the search in fact). So the seller just happens to stumble upon an extremely rare card, does enough research to know the year and acc#, but still has absolutely no clue of the value. Right. ![]() |

It looks like a real card with a reprint back. The borders show a sloppy reback job. The edges are discolored with glue.

Good point. There is no chance this card is legit.

It appears that a great way to make money these days is to buy a reprint for fifty cents, artificially age it, put on ebay with the disclaimer that you aren't certain it's real so you are listing it as a reprint, and then sell it for several hundred dollars. And your back is covered because you put it in writing that it's a repint. Seems like a 21st century business model to me.

The card is NOT an aged/doctored reprint, a reprint wouldnt show that type of creasing on front with the white showing.
My guess, homemade fake. The color has that washed out look too, especially the red background. The front upper right edge shows he didnt cut it out too good either. |

He listed it as a Prewar Reprint in the item specifics.No way all 31 bids were legitimate.

He said he doesn't know much about vintage cards but if it is a reprint, it's the best he has seen.
Makes sense. |
