Default Where did the Cobb/Ty Cobb back card originate ?

Posted By: Pennsylvania Ted

OK, so you took my statement and re-did it with your converse.......

"....but, then we shouldn't be surprised; as I am convinced the Ty Cobb brand was sort of a "novelty" item and was
produced circa... early 1910 and thus would not have been included in the division of brands in the break-up."

Jim....While, I admire your doggedness in believing this Ty Cobb card was printed "circa 1910" and is an integral part
of the T206 set......what proof do you have of this ?

And, although I'm in the school of thought that believes this Ty Cobb card is a "post-1911" issue (and not part of the
T206 set)....I have no definitive proof of that either. However, I do my research; and, I post this information in order
to prove my side of this. If nothing else, it encourages thought-provoking discussion on this forum. Perhaps, someone
on this board might just come across some definitive proof as a result of our discussions.
