Default Further Thoughts about Red Cobb with Cobb back

"FACTORY #33, 4th Dist. N.C." on the Ty Cobb back tells us that this unique card was
produced subsequent to all the 524 cards in the T206 issue. "

I am missing the line of reasoning that tells you it was issued after other T206s because it comes from a unique factory. Why could it not have been made in 1910?

"Most of us old "dinosaurs" in this hobby have seen and touched this card in it's "naked" form,
and it doesn't even feel like a T206."

This dinosaur touched a raw one last week and it felt a lot like a T206 to me.

"IT IS NOT A T206......PERIOD."

I thought the ATC and Jefferson Burdwick was the arbitor of what was a "T206" since he coined the term and delineated what it represents.
