I talked with Rob Lifson earlier today, and here is his accounting of the number of Ty Cobb
back cards. Initially there were 6 cards in the 1st find. Then Rob was offered 5 more which
brought it 11 cards.
Then the same person he got these 5 from came up with another one to make it 12 cards.

Rob confirmed what we thought regarding Frank Nagy's Cobb.....that it was independently
acquired many years ago.....bringing the total to 13 cards.
So, when we add Russell's card, the present total is 14 cards.

I don't understand what the problem is with identifying these Ty Cobb cards by the person
who collected them ? Furthermore, it adds a human touch and a certain provenance to the
card.
What does a scan really tell us about a card (other than it's visuals). Besides, scans have
been known to be gimmicked-up to create a false impression.

Your are kidding about this....aren't you ?
" if Red Cobb with Sov 460 backs are rarer than Red Cobb with Cobb back, will anyone here
willing to pay $60k for a Red Cobb with Sov 460 back??? "
