Anything is possible, guy.

Whatever....I don't think that these Ty Cobb cards were originally packaged in the Ty Cobb tin by F. R. Penn tobacco.
Newspaper advertisements indicate that this tin was available Feb 1910. The Red portrait Cobb image on T-cards was
issued later (circa Spring/Summer 1910).

See you in Baltimore good buddy.
