David-
The info actually came from Rob Lifson, although I'm not sure the genesis of the theory. According to REA, "These exceedingly rare photographic displays were produced in the 1920s by Ty Cobb himself for use as special presentation gifts to friends. (The fact that they were only given to Cobb's friends may, all by itself, explain their great rarity.). . . The cover of the folder reads “Souvenir Photos of Ty Cobb – The World’s Greatest Ball Player” (modesty was never Cobb’s strong suit)."
