The Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card is indeed a mystery. But, because of the different style of printing on
its front and its unique Factory #33 on the back, it makes it very difficult to accept this card as
part of the original T206 set.

It is more like the T213-type (Coupon Cigarettes) cards. I have not seen the Cobb in the T213-1
set (Mild Cigs.), but I've seen the Cobb in the T213-3 set, and Cobb's picture is identical to the
Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb card. So, I'm sorry, but I have to differ with you on this account.

You are aware that Factory #33 does not exist on any of the 524 cards in the T206 set ?

And, this is a very important factor that reinforces the theory that this card is from another issue,
or that it just stands alone as a "single card" issue.
