King Cobb?

Just curious how many pre-war sets are out there that Ty Cobb appears in where he's NOT the most valuable card in the set.

Obviously t206 (Wagner), e90-1 (Jackson) and the Cracker Jack sets (Jackson). Which others?

Babe Ruth is more valuable than Cobb in lots of sets in the teens and twenties.

Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:

1908 E102 Wagner Throwing
1909 T206 Wagner, Plank
1914 CJ Matty. Jackson
1916 M101 Ruth, Jackson
1916 E135 Ruth, Jackson
1921 E121, E122, Oxford, York, etc (basically any set with Ruth)

There are several sets, where Wagner prices actually exceed Cobb prices, no matter what priceguides say.

1910 E103 Wagner
1910 M116 Wagner

Arguably, in many caramel sets, the price of Cobb and Wagner are almsot neck and neck. Wagner in a portrait pose like in the E103, M116, Colgans, etc always outsells Cobb.

Do you think that's simply b/c collectors associate the other Wagner portrait cards with the t206?

1915 Cracker Jack: Jackson
1911 T205: Hoblitzell no stats
W600: Burkett

Virtuallly any set with Ruth, Gehrig or Jackson.
