Bottom card does not appear to be legit

Look at the spacing between the A and the P on the right flip.

It's pretty sad that I remember the first Cobb. Here's a link to the original auction for the real card.

Chuck,

Thanks for providing that link. Based on the REA image, it seems reasonable to conclude that the card on the right is a knock-off.

Damn...fake holders, fake flips.

The TPGs had better do whatever they can to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters. Otherwise, our beloved hobby will be so fraught with peril that all but the most seasoned collectors will walk away.

Best Regards,

Eric

Additionally...is it just me, or does the card on the right seem to have lettering that appears more black than brown? From what I understand, this would be an indicator that it's not the real deal; however, could be wrong here.

Given my limited experience with T206, I am just asking...and not providing an unqualified expert opinion.

Best,

Eric

This is an example of why this hobby is at risk unless these companies do something quickly to get a better holder that is more secure. Does any one know if they are gonna upgrade the cases soon? This is why I tend to like Beckett.

PSA announced at the recent National convention that they are changing holder designs. It's the same size, and still stackable with older style slabs, but the new slab is more secure.

link to one thread over at CU discussing the new holder

hi,

are the bar codes on fake flips identical or are they different and custom made?
