john/z28jd At the time of that card he was just outside the top 10 all-time in batting and some of the guys ahead of him werent as well known as they are now because stats werent kept and known as closely as they are now. Who knows if the people who made the t207 bios even knew who Dave Orr,Billy Hamilton,Dan Brouthers or Pete Browning were. How many people on this board can claim to know who Jake Stenzel is and this is a vintage board? While the set was being made only Cobb,Wagner and Lajoie had higher averages among active players than his .335(at the time) and the last 2 were just barely ahead of him,while Cobb was still very early in his career at the age of 25.
