I agree with Adam, it's one of the most common 42's. There was a survey on net54 several years ago about the Red Cobb backs, and piedmont 42, if memory serves had a dozen or so examples. I can't seem to locate that thread, but I believe Ted started it.
Here you go Mike......a blast from the past......
You can check-out this entire red Cobb survey......

Or, the final results (7-13-2009)
OK folks, final update on this survey. I'm reprising this survey for those new members who have not seen it;
and, for all that might be interested in this most popular white-bordered Tobacco card.
Twelve new Red Cobb's have been reported to bring this survey up to 301 samples of the T206 red Cobb. A
new PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 input is included....we now have tallied 13 unique inputs of this rare back.
__________________________________________________ _________________________
These three T206 backs have yet to be confirmed......anyone here have any of these ?
BROAD LEAF 350
Red HINDU
UZIT
NOTE......The Red Cobb was NOT printed with the AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back.

Thanks to Net54 readers for providing their inputs. With these and several new listings on ebay,

But, still waiting to see a UZIT back ? ?
Until we see a real UZIT....I will continue showing my "exotic" UZIT red Cobb.

Hey Net54er's....this card is not that far-fetched....Cobb is quoted as saying...."Baseball was like War"....:)
