Nobody has the answer...but if you care for a theory, I think it was just a marketing campaign to sell Ty Cobb cigarettes with a small distribution in a specific region- Georgia, which was Cobb's home field. They used a different printer, different paper stock- the only thing it shared with the other brands is the red portrait. They had no interest in even one other player. I think it was just a small regionalized brand and they used Georgia's favorite son to plug it.
