I bought Scott's collection. We've been debating the Collins light dark uniform variation because I feel I have two different Cobbs from this set. My claim is that one is a darker print than the other. The dark print Cobb also shows Cobb further to the left than the lighter print Cobb. I believe the Collins light and dark uniform variations is the same as this Cobb variation. I do not doubt that all of these have a light and dark variation with the dark variation being in the minority, population wise.

These first ones are the darker variation with Cobb shifted to the left. You can't see Cobbs eyes whatsoever in this version. Shadows are darker. the button line in the middle of the unform is much darker. And so on...





These are the light version with Cobb more centered. You can see his eyes in the lighter version a little better. ALthough these scans don't make that very clear.



These last two are my two Cobbs which is one of each.



This is my Collins which has to be the light version.



I have 55 of the 68 cards and have never seen 11 of the 13 that I need.

Want list:
1909 W555 Bates
1909 W555 Bescher, have scan
1909 W555 Byrne
1909 W555 Cicotte
1909 W555 Collins (dark uniform)
1909 W555 Crawford
1909 W555 Ford
1909 W555 Lake
1909 W555 Magee
1909 W555 Mowrey
