Always a smart ass in the crowd.

It's been for sale. But this is if we could have a card off the board what would you pick. I'd chose that Cobb.

Ken - I considered a 1923 W572 Rapp or Barbare - but the Reiser is higher on the priority list!

Cheers,
Patrick

I want these and that 1905 Tigers team Sporting Life(I think that's it) for a member who I can't recall

Yeah, I'll plead guilty on this one.

But look on the bright side: Josh picked your card as the one card he most wanted. No one has mentioned any of my cards.

There was a lovely Lajoie Novelty Cutlery for sale in B/S/T. Would love to have been able to afford it.

Or mine....I can't figure out why? :confused::confused:

Jeff,
that's the PC but the one from 1905 is the one I fancy,

Dan

Sean, your plank is #3 on my list. :cool:

As a type collector, I'd have to go with Leon's or John's T231

Dan - that is the only year that The Sporting Life made a team postcard set. That postcard is generally considered Cobb's earliest appearance on a "card."

Maybe you were thinking of a 1905 The Sporting Life premium?

Ty looks like a little baby in that composite.

To many great cards to choose from so maybe the best option would be one
of these.

Patrick, you're on the right track.

Kevin took the words out of my mouth.

I have no idea who owns this card but it is #1 for me.

EASY for me;

I want Richard's 1910 Orange Border George Gibson

Funny how you bring that up about Ty Cobb. There was a special insert in my Atlanta Newspaper on Ty Cobb. Back in his early days playing for Royston Reds. It had a nice pic of him with 4 kids showing he was born in Northeast Georgia where he got his start. Then there was another team photo in the 1890's where he looked very young, much like that one posted here.
** I will see to scan those photos and the reading material for ya guys. Or maybe you can see it in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution dated Sunday May 17th. It was in the E-section called Living & Arts.

UPDATE with some PICS from newspaper:

Yes Kevin! thats it!

No Question
 

When I saw the original post, my answer came to mind instantly ... and while I have the same sentiment as Glenn on Leon's upcoming divestiture - so to speak - its for a different reason, namely:
