Hi All,
Most, If not all T206 experts agree(Mastro, Martineau, Allen, etc.) that Ty Cobb backed cards were not inserted into Ty Cobb tobacco tins. They believe they were given away as promotional items at some type of event. The fact that 5 of the 13-14 known example were found in the same house in GA may lend support for this theory. I can't believe I turned one down for $2500.00........... Of course that's a lot of money for a 14 year old....
Be well Brian
