Here's mine Ted.

I can't offer any help on the Cobb Lenox Black/Brown question. Art Martineau might shed some light. Or David Hall?

Default To be, or not to be....T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) card with a Black LENOX back ?
Joe, Scot, and Tyler

Some good looking Cobb's.

Thanks for displaying them.


And, the black LENOX regarding this Cobb still continues to remain a mystery.

Thanks guys -- registration and upper left corner aren't ideal but those are petty complaints.

That's like being married to Raquel Welch and being mad that she can't cook!

Beautiful card!

Scot- great Cobb...is it your scanner that makes it look photoshopped? the colors are very smooth, like it's been airbrushed.

Hi Michael,

I used "Auto-Denoise" function on my scanning software.

I don't know if that counts as "photoshopped" in your book.

Scanner: Canon CanoScan 8800F

Scot

(Not hoping to start a conversation on scanning here . . . .)

Hi Scot, was just merely asking if that was the way the card appeared in person, or rather a result of a scanner setting...seems like the latter. Again, stunning card, nonetheless.

ETA- no need to discuss beyond this post.

Michael,

I have found that my scanner under default settings doesn't capture how my cards look "in-person" at all.

So I think your "in-person" v. "scanner settings" is a false dichotomy.

But whatever.

Default $200 REWARD for verifiable proof of a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card
It has been a week since I posted this thread, and I'm surprised that there are so few responses. So, I'm beginning to suspect that the T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) card
does NOT exist with a Black LENOX back. However, I am a persistent dude, therefore......

REWARD......I am offering $200 to any one on this forum who can produce a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card....or, verifiable proof thereof.


Meanwhile, please continue to show us your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards with their various T-brand backs.

I'll continue here with this Cobb from my SWEET CAPORAL 460, Factory #42 (overprint) sub-set.

WOW !

Even with a serious REWARD of $200, there are no responses to this request. Yes, I (and at least 14 other long-time T206
collectors) do NOT believe this front / back combo was printed.

But, we are not certain of this. For we can never be sure what surprises The Monster still has in store for us.


Anyhow, feel free to post your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards here, especially those with tougher backs.


Here is an OLD MILL from my T206 collection......

Ted,

If I photographed myself standing in front of a mirror holding my cobb to expose both sides simultaneously, would that constitute verifiable proof or simply pornography.
