Default Ty Cobb brand

Posted By: robert a

Well, we don't have any "valid" insight since we don't have an official document that will shed any light.

We do know that 5 distinct examples were found together in the state of Georgia in a book that dates back to 1907.

We also have a couple of board members who own an example.

I think the connection to coupon is unlikely because the brand released three baseball tobacco issues and placed their name on the back of each one.

Is it possible it could've been some kind of promotion run by the ATC where the cards were inserted into packs of cigarettes that were distributed in Georgia?

Just rambling out ideas...

Rob
