Default Ty Cobb brand

Posted By: JimB

I am of the school that is was properly included in the T206 designation. "T206" was the arbitrary designation applied to all the white border baseball cards included with tobacco products issued by ATC between 1909 and 1911. They could have easily distinguished multiple sets such as the Drum set, the American Beauty set, the Carolina Brights set, etc. It could have been further broken down by series, etc. But the ACC authors chose to group all of the cards produced by ATC for the cigarette brands in those years with one designation, "T206".

Edited to add: I was hoping this thread would not degenerate into a debate about the inclusion of the card in the T206 set. Now here I am participating in it.
