He was sort of problem to his parents (scholastically) as a teenager. So, his parents sent him off to a strict Military school in 1911. My understanding
is that his BB card collecting days ceased there. Simply because his smoking habit was suspended while there.
Regarding the tobacco staining that has been reported on some of the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb cards....I don't think we know for certain that it was due to
cards being inserted in the Ty Cobb Tobacco tin.
The Ty Cobb Tobacco was for chewing, pipe smoking, etc. All of which could have been the cause of the staining by the card's owners.
