Thank you very much, sir.
And since he played for the Braves in 1914, I think we can now safely call it a 1913, or possibly early 1914, issue.
There was a second Cobb m114 announced in the Dec 1913 issue of the magazine, and in January 1914 there were posters announced for Lavender, Cheney & Schulte in the same Cubs uniform. No specific mention of Evers, but as he had more individual ads in the magazine regarding his poster than any other player thru that point, and since Cobb had been the first poster advertised (starting in August 1908) it would make sense that they would be the first two in need of a new poster.
The last ad for both the original Cobb and Evers posters looks to be in Nov 1913.
