but say first of all that this is not my card. Dan G. has been kind enough to lend me the scan.

With that said I hereby present Ty Cobb's true "rookie" card from 1906. Let the fun begin.

I hope you understand that the 1908 date on the PSA label is incorrect. The E102 set was
issued in 1910.....or late 1909.

The proof of this is, is that certain players in this set were traded to their identified team in
the summer of 1909.

Since I don't have any of these fabulous cards, I can be objective and simply say that the 1908 E90-1 looks like the Georgia Peach's Rookie to me.

Ted, yes, I know about the true date of the E102. I suppose Cobb has many 'first' cards, no true 'rookie' cards. In my mind, the postcards are probably his first true cards -- assuming one can describe a postcard as a baseball card.

And Jim...if you want that card badly enough...you know what will get it for you.

Not enough controversy yet....So, I'll throw this "baby" into the mix....and, while we know this Cobb
card in no-way can be regarded as a "1st card"....can it perhaps be considered as his "last T-card" ?

We know the T216 cards were issued as late as 1916...but, no one has ever confirmed a date on this
very unique Cobb.

Take a look at the pooch. You have the "pooch looking left" version. Mine is the "pooch looking right".

Interesting. i never realized there was more than 1 version of the PC. I see the version of mine on e-bay from time to time, but have never seen yours. I wonder if yours would bring a premium? Any thought's from board memebers? Are they both as common?

I'm not aware of any premium attaching but I too have followed the card for years and have found the looking left far outnumbers the looking right. It's something I picked up on years ago and has interested me ever since.

I can't make out what yours says in the bottom right hand corner? Mine is a Taylor and postmarked OCT 1907, both on the back. Maybe different copyrights? No real reason, but it interests me. Joe

These pictures truly tell the story of how Cobb fit in with his teammates at the beginning of his career: isolated, not touching anyone, looking positively uncomfortable.

So far, there are at least five postcards with the 1907 date, plus the Detroit team card dated 1906.

So what's the verdict on the true rookie card? I think we will need to organize a panel of experts.

I think a postcard is a postcard and a baseball card is a baseball card, so I would vote for the E90-1.

E-90
Appears Cobb took a big rip at the pitch.
