In raw numbers, it is one of the rarest backs. There are only 14-15 known. That would make it much tougher than Pirates in the sense that there are over 100 Pirates. The difference is that for any given Pirate backed card, there are only 1-3 examples of the front image, whereas all the Cobb backs are red portrait Cobbs. But if we are only looking at backs, the Ty Cobb brand definitely ranks.
