john/z28jdHal,what does it matter to you if its considered a T206 or not? Until someone finds one with a front other than the Cobb red portrait then i'll never agree it was more than a special card made for Cobb brand tobacco and probably not printed at the same time as the other t206s because ive never heard of a sheet containing just one player.To me that doesnt fit the criteria for it to be considered a t206 anymore than a t213 card does
Also alot of people on the board who keep track of numbers of times cards show up will disagree with your Kleinow assessment. In fact we've seen many counts at different times that indicated the NY version was harder to find and it wasnt done by just one individual.So i find it very hard to believe the Boston version could be decidedly more difficult,slightly more thats possible because youre more likely to sell a card with a higher book value so it might show up more but numbers dont lie.
