The Georgia Senator you are referring to was Richard Russell, who amassed a large collection of T-cards, as a teenager
during 1909-1914. I have acquired several T206's from his collection.
I personally do not think that the Ty Cobb "Smoking Tobacco" card was packaged in the Ty Cobb Cut Plug Tobacco Tin.
For the few cards that have been found would have tobacco stains on them. And, this is why I said that they may have
been handed out by a vendor selling this Plug Tobacco.

This mystery continues.
