Default Where did the Cobb/Ty Cobb back card originate ?

Posted By: John

Ted, I averaged the colors using Photoshop and a lab color program the colors may look close but are they are a bit different none the less. Hope this helps in fact the percentages that make up the colors are below in both RGB and Lab CMYK. I also discarded any color patterns that may have been embedded in the below scans. I also included the last Cobb/Cobb backed cards that haven been offered publicly, including Jim's hope thats ok Jim?



American Beauty 460, Color: #629955

R: 98
G: 153
B: 85

C: 66
M: 21
Y: 85
K: 4


Ty Cobb, Color: #558E61

R: 85
G: 142
B: 97

C: 70
M: 25
Y: 75
K: 7


In fact in looking at the lettering the script is similar but not exact, I’m sure I could research the font and find that it was a popular period font or type face. I broke out the letters for you to see, you are correct they are very close but not exact IMO.




Hope this helps you a bit…
