Default Red Cobb survey of all its 30 backs....post your inputs ?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Hey Frank A....

As I understand it, the white border tobacco cards were issued in a progression of series and brands. The series are somewhat obvious, the brand aspect isn't quite so obvious. Series 150 first, then 350, and last was 460.

Green portrait cards and bat on shoulder (gray cap) Cobb cards were in series 150, and carried over into 350. Red portrait cards and bat off shoulder (black cap) Cobb cards first appear in series 350, and they continue into series 460.

Ted Z can expand on this, no doubt. Scot Reader's great publication would help, too.
