Default T206 Back Collecting

I welcome your Poll on the Ty Cobb back.

However, I can predict its outcome...."dinosaurs" like me will vote....NO;
and, type and non-set collectors will more than likely vote..YES.

If you were to see and touch a Ty Cobb (with a Ty Cobb back), and compare
it with any normal T206 card, you instantly notice the difference on the front.
The front of the Ty Cobb back has a gloss which no T206 has ever had. It is
very similar to the fronts of the Coupon Cigarette cards. Another factor, as
subtle as it is, is the back advertises Factory 33. This Factory # is unique to
this card. I have seen a lot of T206's and I have 90% of all the possible
backs (40) and I have never seen this Factory # on any T206 card.
