Does anyone have any more details on the dot? This'll help id repros and repros-turned-fakes.
  • What's it look like in close-up? For example, the color and printing process.
  • Is the placement always the same?
  • Is it found across all brands?
This is not a factual statement as to there being a dot on numerous reprints. It just so happens to be on this one. There are hundreds of versions of fake cobbs.

Signs like that are not really what should be looked for generally, as was mentioned previously, this card has as much similarity to a real Cobb as a Fiero has with a Ferrari. The issue is that to my wife, the Fiero is the same as a Ferrari.

Education with these cards and handling many is how to learn, if that has not been done please ask or buy graded. While neither solution is guaranteed to be right, it’s better than a guess. Also, as the saying goes…if it’s too good to be true, it likely isn’t.

And it "just happens" to be on this one, and this one, and so on...they are somewhat prevalent on fake Cobbs that tend to look slightly "better" as far as reprints go. Just one more tool to put in the box.

There are multiples of hundreds of thousands of fake Cobbs more than real in circulation and you can easily buy them by the hundreds in lots. This particular printer of fakes has this, one printer in thousands is not more than an afterthought. If you would like to use it that is fine, I feel it dangerous to provide a notation found on .01% that could make the unknowing feel more comfortable in thinking the other 99.99% real.

Simply my belief.

I don't think anyone was saying "it's only fake if there's a dot on it." If one was leaning toward that sentiment, they know little to nothing of the t206 world, and need much more education. Going back to the original card being questioned, I was simply pointing out that 1. It is a reprint and 2. At any given time there are numerous being sold on Ebay.

That's all
