1910 Punch Cobb with backing - New Discovery??
I was actually waiting to see if anyone else posted any other information about this card.
I was at the Philly Show this past Saturday, and I overheard these two gentlemen saying they have a Punch Cobb with the backing. I never saw this card before in person, but remembered that this issue is super rare. They said it was just graded and would be offered for sale privately only. I asked to see it, but they only showed me a picture of it on their IPad, and hid the serial number. I snapped a pic with my phone. Looks like a PSA holder. Any thoughts?? |

Punch Cobb
Wow, the Cobb punch card is amazing. Finding punch cards with backing is so rare. I have only seen a handful. Great job in at least getting a picture of it.

Has this been authenticated by the CIA?

The conversation only came up when I was looking at a few T206 Cobb greens and reds.
The guy asked if I liked Cobb and said he and his business partner had a really rare card of him. I just thought it was weird that if you were looking to sell it, why only show people an IPad picture of it. Just seems like a weird issue to try and fake, since it’s so rare. To some of the auction house reps that were in attendance, did this card come up in conversation or make an appearance at all? |

PSA only has 1 Punch Cobb listed in the Pop report and that is definitely not it.

Looks like the bottom of the slab has a notch cut in it.

I think it is a non psa slab.

If anyone had one of these and wanted to sell it, he would do all that he could to let the entire hobby know, not sell it in secret, with the only image released a blurry pic without the flip proving its legitimacy.

Lastly, my hunch is, if we track down the only known one (if that is correct) I would wager we might find some of the tiny, totally specific flaws on this card as the one known...in other words, a poor copy. Just a guess though. Maybe better scans come forth and I am wrong?

Aren't the Punch cards much smaller than that? It seems to fill out a graded holder of some kind...

Yes, they are smaller.

If anyone knows, when it indicates “backing”, does that refer to the border attached, or is there actually a print advertisement on the back of the card?

All the Punch cards inside the cigarette box came glued to that cardboard, and in most cases they were detached and the card was glued to the album, many appeared loose because to have the album you had to go look for it at the Punch cigar factory, very few have been found attached to the original cardboard, in the case of this Ty Cobb, if someone shows me that photo and asks me for $5 dollars, I will not buy it, because in that photo the card cannot be seen well due to to the nylon that covers it, and its state of conservation cannot be seen. When you see the cardboard, you can see a great state of deterioration, therefore the card must also have deterioration, it could be an original card that was recently glued to that cardboard, after remove the one that was originally pasted, it may be a photocopy of Ty Cobb, which they pasted, that is, a fake, I have had the original in my hands and I scanned them and there is something strange in the background of
