Paul Cobb baseball card
I am in the process of finalizing a story on Paul Cobb, the younger brother of Ty Cobb. Paul Cobb played in the minor leagues between 1907 and 1916. Does anyone know if there exists any baseball card of Paul Cobb?

To my knowledge he does not have a card, but he may have a real photo postcard out there with one of his various minor league clubs.
I have a yardlong photo of the Lincoln team on opening day 1911 that I believe he is pictured in. <a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/nudan92/media/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/1911lincolnpan1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/1911lincolnpan1.jpg" border="0" alt="1911 Panoramic Photo photo 1911lincolnpan1.jpg"/></a> |
Well......its not ideal, but there exists an edition printed in 1975 called McCallums that had a card with Ty and Paul on the front in street clothes.

Brian,
The only card I can find with Paul Cobb is not a pre-war issue. Beckett lists a 1975 Cobb McCallum set, with one card depicting Ty and Paul in street clothes: http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/...72718-11Fr.jpg I will do a little digging to see if I can find any old minor league issues with him. |
There is no minor league issue for Paul Cobb...the closest you will come is hoping for a real photo postcard to show up someday.
Here he is in the Spalding guide with Lincoln in 1910 <a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/nudan92/media/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/1910lincoln.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/1910lincoln.jpg" border="0" alt="1910 Lincoln photo 1910lincoln.jpg"/></a> 1912 Lincoln <a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/nudan92/media/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/lincoln12.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/1878-1946%20Lincoln%20Baseball/lincoln12.jpg" border="0" alt="1912 Lincoln photo lincoln12.jpg"/></a> |
