Fake Cobb?

...what's especially annoying is that I told him the same damn thing two weeks ago. And, I'm not the type that will never justify spending that much on a piece of cardboard. Dammit...

That back is rare? Maybe it's rare with the Cobb red bg, but it's not a rare back. I have it as 29th out of 39 backs, with Ty Cobb being #1 and Piedmont 350 subjects as #39.

I'm sorry that it didn't work out. Darn.

SGC says it's rare so they can charge more for grading. They said the same thing to me when I wanted to have Matty Polar Bears and OM's crossed over from PSA.

I assumed by rare, he meant basically that it wasn't a piedmont back. Hopefully, he'll change his mind again. But, I doubt it.

I guess I should just pull up my floorboards and see what's down there...

Personally I don't think you missed out on much I wouldn't be surprised if that upper left is trimmed a bit.

I said last week that the card should grade a 2, and I still believe that. I really look forward to seeing what this card sells for after it's graded.

I agree that if real it's at best a 2 but looking at the listing I think it's bogus. The seller states it was found while renovating an old apartment in SF. Yeah right, the one card that is found just happens to be a Cobb not a common but one of the top 5 cards in the set and one with many reprints.

I vote fake!
