"Ty Cobb" (the person - not tobacco) King of the smoking tobacco world. Tuxedo tobacco which came in a green pocket tin and larger can was manufactured by American Tobacco Company (1910 tax stamp) and used Ty Cobb in 1914 magazine ads. Tuxedo used many famous people during this period in their ads but I would guess "Ty Cobb" was the King.

The Ty Cobb / Ty Cobb back looks more like a 1914 era card than a T206. Maybe a trade card to a select few?
