Responding to your comment......
"What you said up there, or somewhere, about Cobb's red portrait being the most used card image is significant,
I think."


I think you are alluding to my dubbing of the Red Cobb portrait as American Lithographic's "signature picture".....
in their baseball card Tobacco issues. And, indeed it is.....he Red Cobb is all over the place.

I count 24 different T-backs just in the T206 issue. Then we have the COUPON, the Red Cross, and the Victory
issues.
And, of course the Ty Cobb (pipe) Smoking Tobacco card.

Any more out there ?

Yes, even the some of the Caramel Co. issues depict this red portrait Cobb. The Williams Caramel (E103) comes
to my mind.
