Default Real or Fake - E95 Cobb

Posted By: Jon Canfield

Ok... I have purchased 12 of these E95's now (working towards the set) and I'm getting pretty good at being able to spot a fake. This one appears fake to me - all the tell tail signs. However, I need an off-condition Cobb so I wanted to solicit your opinions before I write this off as a scam!

The card stock and color are way off. I'll avoid making any definitive statements about it other than it's a blatant fake. Your instincts are good. What other e95's do you need?

Look at the back, the fake E95's have printing that is too bold when compared to an authentic card. Look at the letters with holes like "a", "b", "e", etc. the print is so bold on the reprints that the holes are filled in with ink on these letters. There was a reprint E95 Cobb on a few days back, I think this is the same one. Frank
