It's interesting to note that the auction description does not mention the impossible f/b combo, but does mention an erased and re-drawn line on the front. Should the auction house be responsible (for lack of a better word) to know this fact and disclose it in the auction? Would such disclosure have an effect on ending price?

To me there ought to be a certain line (not sure where it is as I don't do 206s) on level of back scarcity where it becomes incumbent upon a seller to at least ascertain whether it is possible. In this instance if the card was consigned, I'm not sure it occurred to check. The mention of the back does almost seem an afterthought at the very tail end of the description, not even in the title.

But in their previous auction they sold another impossible front/back combo. A Christy Mathewson portrait with a Sovereign 460 back. SCP Listing  This impossible front/back combo was brought to the auction houses attention prior to the lot closing and the listing was neither pulled nor revised. In their followup auction they listed and sold the impossible Cobb front/back combo with an almost identical write up describing the re-drawn black border. Looking at the cert numbers the Mathewson and Cobb were submitted together. One would think the outing of the first card would have been a big red flag for the second. That this would have caused the auction house to look closely at the other cards in the submission or consignment. Either this didn't happen or the auction house is well aware and are happy with the way they listed and sold these cards.

Tim,
So you are saying that someone made them aware that the cards were "Frankencards" (twice) and they opted not to alter course?

Jeff - Prior to the Mathewson selling the auction house was called and told the card was an impossible front/back and an obvious reback or refront. They chose to let the auction run as it was. I don't know that anyone called about the Cobb but given the subject, back and authentic grade, one would think they would take a moment to check if it was a good combination. Especially considering the Cobb was submitted/consigned with the already known bad Mathewson.
