I still don't think we should consider the card a T206.

The gloss is the main reason, and enough of a reason for me. That there is only one card with that back bolsters that. And it seems to me that some folks pull and tug at reasons because they seem to want it included. Nonetheless, it is a fine baseball card. Wish I had one. And if I did have one I'd not think it a T206. It reminds me of the first E90-3 I acquired, long before I knew anything at all about American Caramel cards. Seemed like an E90-1 with 'Chicago' on the back... As for tobacco stains, they mean nothing to me. I have a few E cards with what I think are tobacco stains. And some E cards with caramel stains. If I find a T205 with an ink stain would that mean it was distributed with a pen set, or with ink??

Can't put it any better than Anthony did. Jim VB is, ahem, a great guy. For real.

I alluded to this in a recent post but it bears repeating: a lot of guys here go way back. It is not just " a blog site for card collectors", Ralph, but a succession of places where collectors have gathered for years to talk story about vintage baseball cards. Occasionally a quarrel breaks out but eventually we return to the flow of the board. When a newcomer like Chicago comes aboard and attempts to dictate board protocol it is akin to someone bursting down the door and trying to rearrange the furniture. Any dig taken at Chicago by Jim or anyone else is fair game. (Plus he seems to thrive on the abuse). Dude would try the patience of a saint.

Point taken. I am only a few months IN on this forum. I gotta tell ya, some of the most entertaining fodder I have ever read. I love this site. People I work with ask "Why do you collect cards?" I say..."Have you ever checked out N54?"

LOL, just what Jim wanted a new nickname..

Alright I'll pile in on this discussion. I'm on the fence as to if this is a T206 or not. There are strong points that could make this a good ol' T206. But there are some others that keep me on the fence.

One of those is and correct me if I'm wrong didn't a large % of the known examples of this card come from one find in the south? I find it odd that if we say have 12-14 of something and close to half come from one find in one geographical area something seems odd?

Does anyone know the deatils around the find I'm talking about or is this hobby folk lore passed on to me as a kid?

Cheers,

John

Yes, 5 of the dozen or so known were found in 1997 and immediately auctioned off by REA...according to this writeup.

Wow. I am not one to dip into T206 conversations as I have only oned one in my life (and it wasn't a Cobb back), but this comment about probably the nicest guy in the hobby is too much.

Jim is one of those people who is so easy to defend that it isn't even funny. Before your comment, I would've also said that one never needs to defend him because he is so commonly respected and admired. So I am shocked that he has been called on the carpet, but allow me to assure you that for every one who has or will post defending Jim, there are dozens of others who wouldn't blink before doing so as well.

Default Speaking of "write-ups"

Just got my REA catalogue yesterday. Take a look at the Cobb/Cobb write-up. Even THEY allude to the fact that the card is debateable as to whether it should be a seperate series!!! But im the "ill-informed idiot"? You guys clearly have some type of agenda.

The "agenda" is with your tone and attitude -- not your opinion.

I think it has been said before on this thread, but I agree that debating whether this card is a T206 is really just questioning whether Burdick went too far by including it, since he is the man who defined what it means to be a T206.

I think we could all agree that if the Cobb/Cobb were definitively shown to have been produced in 1925, that we would say universally that it was not a T206. But beyond the definitional birth years of 1909-11, there will never be a consensus as to whether the lack of more fronts or distribution area or unique factory mean Burdick went too far. Since that was all basically at Burdick's fingertips at the time, the evidence really militates for a finding that Burdick did not go too far. And I think he probably deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Fortunately I only collect T206 fronts and I was able to persuade SGC to take its Cobb/Cobb down from its registry on the basis of it being a back designation. So I'll stick with a nice Sweet Cap Red Cobbie and let the back-interested folk keep caring.

Shawn thanks for the post.

As we know ATC had controlling interest in F.R. Penn in 1903. However according to information like what you just posted, the Penn family continued to run the company independent of ATC until 1912 when ATC took over operations.

I see it this way.

If F.R. Penn was in control and produced the card it is a separate issue from T206.

If you think ATC was in control then it could be considered a T206.

Default Hey Shawn England......

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.

Thank you for all the kind words of support guys. I am humbled and very appreciative. What a surprise to wake up to this this morning.

I must say however, that I did lose my composure and get a bit combative in a way that I am not comfortable with for myself. I apologize to Chicago for my condescension.

Default 5 Card Find

Hi JimB

I recall that they were found not in an album, but loose in the pages of a book (I know I am splitting hairs). The gentlemen that presented the find to REA was from Georgia and the book had been in the family (always lived in Georgia).

And if I remember correctly, the book was a first edition, printed in March, 1910 and the cards were placed in the book ever since they were acquired in a tin of Ty Cobb Tobacco. I would have mentioned this information earlier, but I thought everyone knew this! (just kidding)

The recent find was found with other cards that were clearly distributed with tobacco. The person who collected them could have acquired the Cobb from a promo of sorts but seems more plausible it was obtained in the same manner as the others it was mixed in with. Not hard evidence but lends credence to the Cobb back being at least partly distributed in the tin.

They were successfully hiding their relationship, owning of Penn stock, and keeping it out of the case.

Factory #33, Reidsville, NC

ATC tobacco brand...... Ty Cobb Smoking Tobacco


. . . .


American Litho printed the red Cobb in the Spring of 1910. Initially for the 350 series of the T206 set. This timeline coincides
with ATC's introduction of the Ty Cobb Tobacco brand.









As I have stated throughout this thread, I consider this card a "T206".

As popular as the ty cobb tobacco seems to have been...you'd think there'd be way more tins...and if cards were inserted inside...there'd be way more cards out there.

Anyone else notice this?

Tony
While reading this old thread I came across this observation. Is this generally true of Cobb back cards? I've looked at Ryan's card and it seems fuzzy, but that could be the scan? I know that the recently found "matchbox" Cobb back has this same poor registration. The red background seems to be shifted down slightly, causing the eyes to appear unfocused. Does anyone know if this is true of the cards in the Lucky 7 find? And does it seem to be true of all Cobb backs?

Since i last saw this thread...what have i learned??? That the cobb w /cobb back is still not a t206...and that it is likely more common than drum, uzit, lennox, ab 460, cycle 460, coupon type I,III, t214, blank back...among others!!

Great card Steven. Does it feature the glossy finish?

Maybe a little out of focus, but I wouldn’t call blurry. Steven’s beats though

Ryan, your Cobb seems to have the red ink printed a little off right to left. The matchbox Cobb back has the red printed a little off top to bottom. And Steven's card doesn't feature any red shift.

I don't know if that tells us anything about the print run. Certainly nothing that I can see.

I dont know much about this issue but if these have tobacco stains on the back then this product was sold in a limited amount for a short time but only 15 survive? This baffles me when Cobb was such a large star of the time no one would keep this card except for a few and half came from the lucky 7 find.

I think that there are now 23 known, including a find of 5 cards and also the lucky 7. So more that half of them came from two sources.

my example also has solid registration..... what is interesting is the tone of darkness of the "D" on cobbs shirt.. i have seen most with a darker "D".. and a few including mine with a lighter "D".. just an interesting note on the variant of the card..
