Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back

[Vintagecatcher]

Over the years, the board has debated whether this card should be considered part of the T206 set or something unique onto itself.

I find it interesting that PSA has identified it as a T206 in the current REA Auction.

Any thoughts?

Not a T206, but a first cousin like a T213 Coupon Type 1 or a T215 Red Cross Type 1.

Leon, you can lock the thread now

I don’t love this example, especially the out of register front.

It is not uncommon for a Cobb/Cobb to be out of focus, many are.

I am not sure it’s a t206, although, in my opinion, no master t206 back run is complete without the Cobb back.

Anyway, regardless of what a Cobb/Cobb is classified as, it is a fact that they are 100% awesome!

Ryan, is a master T206 back run complete without a Blue Old Mill?

Great question Sean. I am starting to believe that one does not need a blue old mill and it’s not a different back. There are 3 known, two of them discovered in last 12 months. I think we need more before they are a recognizable back/back variation. Otherwise they are just oddities; not scrap bc they were certainly put in packs, but oddities like Scott’s blue sovereign. The blue old mill really confounds me- no clue what it is. But I do not think it’s a “back”, and SGC calling it such does not make it so

Oh good, because I have a master back run, and I have no shot at a Blue Old Mill. Unless there is a 50 card find sometime soon.
