Default Let's again debate Cobb's real 1st card ?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Andrew and Scott

1st......The E102 Cobb is mis-labelled, all Guides classify this set as
being issued in 1910.....so, the SGC label is incorrect. Furthermore, the
E102 card indicates him playing CF....in 1908 he played in RF.

In fact, my early Spalding Guides have him playing RF from 1907 - 1909.
And, I verified this information with my BB Encyclopedia. In 1910 he was
switched to CF as Sam Crawford (a full Lefty) took over the RF spot.
