Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>but say first of all that this is not my card. Dan G. has been kind enough to lend me the scan.<br /><br />With that said I hereby present Ty Cobb's true "rookie" card from 1906. Let the fun begin. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178821545.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>I hope you understand that the 1908 date on the PSA label is incorrect. The E102 set was<br /> issued in 1910.....or late 1909.<br /><br />The proof of this is, is that certain players in this set were traded to their identified team in<br /> the summer of 1909.

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Since I don't have any of these fabulous cards, I can be objective and simply say that the 1908 E90-1 looks like the Georgia Peach's Rookie to me.<br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Jeff,<br />Can I have that E102? Please! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Ted, yes, I know about the true date of the E102. I suppose Cobb has many 'first' cards, no true 'rookie' cards. In my mind, the postcards are probably his first true cards -- assuming one can describe a postcard as a baseball card.<br /><br />And Jim...if you want that card badly enough...you know what will get it for you. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Pennsylvania Ted</b><p>Not enough controversy yet....So, I'll throw this "baby" into the mix....and, while we know this Cobb<br />card in no-way can be regarded as a "1st card"....can it perhaps be considered as his "last T-card" ?<br /><br />We know the T216 cards were issued as late as 1916...but, no one has ever confirmed a date on this <br />very unique Cobb. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/acobbtycobb.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/bcobbtycobb.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Take a look at the pooch. You have the "pooch looking left" version. Mine is the "pooch looking right". <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178836169.JPG">

Posted By: <b>joe Brennan</b><p>Interesting. i never realized there was more than 1 version of the PC. I see the version of mine on e-bay from time to time, but have never seen yours. I wonder if yours would bring a premium? Any thought's from board memebers? Are they both as common? <br><br>In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982.

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I'm not aware of any premium attaching but I too have followed the card for years and have found the looking left far outnumbers the looking right. It's something I picked up on years ago and has interested me ever since.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p>I can't make out what yours says in the bottom right hand corner? Mine is a Taylor and postmarked OCT 1907, both on the back. Maybe different copyrights? No real reason, but it interests me. Joe<br><br>In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>So far, there are at least five postcards with the 1907 date, plus the Detroit team card dated 1906.<br /><br />So what's the verdict on the true rookie card? I think we will need to organize a panel of experts.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Jim, thanks for posting all of those great cards.

Posted By: <b>Peter Spaeth</b><p>I think a postcard is a postcard and a baseball card is a baseball card, so I would vote for the E90-1.
