I stand corrected on the dating.

Devil's Advocate time:

Is this Mickey's true rookie card?? The number on his back is "6" not "7". He wore #6 in 1951.

Even if a postcard was purchased and mailed it does not necessarily mean that the buyer was not collecting them. It was not uncommon many years ago for travellers to send postcards to themselves at their home address. My dad has such a collection (no baseball postcards, though).

Frank,

If you could show that the card was distributed pre-1951, than I'd say yes. I dont think you can though.

I do appreciate that you are the E101 guy. But, there is no way
that the E101 cards were issued in 1909 as the SGC label on your
Cobb card indicates.
The E101 set, like it's "cousins" (E92, E102, E104, E105 & E106),
was issued during 1910. They are all basically the same cards that
were probably produced at the same printing facility, but with dif-
ferent backs which advertise either Candy or Gum.

I have provided factual data in an earlier post on this Thread to
confirm my "1910 Theory" regarding these sets.
