Looking for a 2nd example of the T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card
The Cobb (bat off shoulder) is a favorite subject for many Cobb collectors. It is found with over 20 different T-brand backs in the white-bordered series of Tobacco cards.
The T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) is reportedly "confirmed" with a Black LENOX back. But, many long-time T206 collectors say they have not seen this front/back combo. However, several Brown LENOX cards of this Cobb have been confirmed. Therefore, prompting this question.... Was a Brown LENOX Cobb originally mistaken for a Black LENOX Cobb ? ? So, with all the "T206 power" on this forum, can we resolve this mystery ? OK guys, especially you Cobb collectors, please chime in with your inputs regarding this front/back combo. Also, feel free to show off your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards with any one of their various T-brand backs TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 03-02-2016 at 06:38 PM. |

Here's mine Ted.
I can't offer any help on the Cobb Lenox Black/Brown question. Art Martineau might shed some light. Or David Hall? Scot |

To be, or not to be....T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) card with a Black LENOX back ?
Joe, Scot, and Tyler
Some good looking Cobb's. Thanks for displaying them. And, the black LENOX regarding this Cobb still continues to remain a mystery. TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 01-27-2016 at 07:01 PM. |

Scot- great Cobb...is it your scanner that makes it look photoshopped? the colors are very smooth, like it's been airbrushed.

Hi Michael,
I used "Auto-Denoise" function on my scanning software. I don't know if that counts as "photoshopped" in your book. Scanner: Canon CanoScan 8800F Scot (Not hoping to start a conversation on scanning here . . . .) Last edited by sreader3; 01-27-2016 at 08:15 PM. |

$200 REWARD for verifiable proof of a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card
It has been a week since I posted this thread, and I'm surprised that there are so few responses. So, I'm beginning to suspect that the T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) card
does NOT exist with a Black LENOX back. However, I am a persistent dude, therefore...... REWARD......I am offering $200 to any one on this forum who can produce a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card....or, verifiable proof thereof. Meanwhile, please continue to show us your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards with their various T-brand backs. I'll continue here with this Cobb from my SWEET CAPORAL 460, Factory #42 (overprint) sub-set. . TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 02-02-2016 at 11:44 AM. |

$200 REWARD for verifiable proof of a T206 Cobb (bat off shoulder) / Black LENOX card
WOW !
Even with a serious REWARD of $200, there are no responses to this request. Yes, I (and at least 14 other long-time T206 collectors) do NOT believe this front / back combo was printed. But, we are not certain of this. For we can never be sure what surprises The Monster still has in store for us. Anyhow, feel free to post your Cobb (bat off shoulder) cards here, especially those with tougher backs. Here is an OLD MILL from my T206 collection...... . TED Z . |
