The T206 Ty Cobb is authentic. There are a number of important indicators but one of the most conclusive and easiest to see is the top right corner. Note the wear and the color of the paper stock under the thin, top layer that has worn away. That's exactly what it is supposed to look like. The printing, texture, reverse tobacco stains, etc., also are consistent with an authentic Polar Bear brand T206 Cobb.

The Cobb signature is not authentic. It is one of the least characteristic I have ever seen.

Thanks for the heads up on the Cobb card, but I'm taking a break from good deals on liveauctioneers.com

She also said that.

I defer to the experts on the T card. I was dubious because it looked like the image is darker, the boldness of the 'Cobb, Detroit', and the fairly even wear of the corners. I guess I'm too used to seeing everyones nice specimens here.

Great to have you posting! and you picked a great set to collect.....I m not sure if you've seen what I collect(T206 freaks/printer's scraps)....Thanks for keeping an eye out for the fakes...

The Cobb looks good from the scan, but I have been fooled by scans before...The Name/Team desig is a little darker than normal, but that appears to be the correct ink....Auto- have no clue.....they are tuf to determine....if you come across any t206 printer's scraps, let me know.....look forward to reading your posts...KEEP AN EYE OUT!

Peace
