The cobb is in an sgc holder and is being sold as having a rare piedmont back. However, the close up of the factory designation appears to be a completely different card:

1. Its in a PSA holder
2. The close up is well centered whereas the sgc reverse has almost no right side or bottom border.

The seller has good feedback and there could be a logical explanation. Ive emailed him/her and will update if I get a response.

Yeah, that's a PSA holder in the close up of the reverse.

...actually i know it's legit. since the seller outbid me for it when it was raw.
and this is the second time the card was listed. the first time there was a reserve.
the seller is also legit

the enlarged scan is NOT the cobb back. that's is weird. the normal size scans are the cobb...i don't know about the scan that shows up close factory.
the card is a legit piedmont factory 42.

FYI - Here is the seller's response to my email:

I am quite sorry . I have several of these factory 42 cards. Some are PSA graded and the other , which is the one I am selling is SGC graded. I had a whole bunch of scans in my picture folder and I must have selected the wrong one when I was posting the card. I appologize for the confusion, you are the second person to notice this. Thanks for taking interest in the card .

The seller is reputable and known to own many rare T206 variations.

Looks like an honest mistake.

The seller also just sent me a correct scan of the back/Factory 42 designation. No problems here.

The seller is a good guy, legit seller, end of story. Personally, I'm very interested in the card and will probably be bidding, so stay away.

Be well Brian
