You have presented some great insight into the F. R. Penn Tobacco Co. in Reidsville, NC (Factory #33) regarding the Ty Cobb
Cut Plug tobacco (circa 1910). Thanks, for all the info you have posted.

Combining all the info you have presented on this thread, and on my thread on this same subject back in Jan. 2009, along with
the evidence available from Senator Russell's T-card collection (on display at the U. of Georgia), we have pretty well unraveled
the mystery's of this unique Ty Cobb card. The evidence we have, leads to the fact that this card was issued sometime in the
Spring/Summer of 1910 (coincident with the Ty Cobb Tobacco tin). I think some cards were distributed in the Atlanta area as
promotional premiums (these are the ones found without the gloss). And, some where inserted in the Tobacco tins (these are
the ones with the gloss).

Now, in the presence of all this evidence, if one chooses to consider this Ty Cobb card a T206, or not....that's their perogative.

But, when a certain person on this forum persists to disregard these facts that several researchers have presented (in Jan 2009
thread and this thread), then there is no way of penetrating his "contrarian mind". So, let him "rant on", as he continues to make
a fool of himself.
