Sen. Russell's collection incl. Doyle error & Ty Cobb back
Posted By: JimB
I have read about this collection before, but hadn't put two and two together. Thanks Ted. It seems from the description that these were collected when he was a kid. The fact that they are all Piedmonts lends to this conclusion, in addition to what it says on the website. I imagine his father or someone close was probably a Piedmont smoker. If this is the case, and he lived in Georgia, this seems to lend further creedence to the idea that the Ty Cobb brand was a short-run promotional brand of the ATC distributed in Georgia during the T206 era. Maybe he convinced his dad or somebody to get a tin of Ty Cobbs to get the promotional card of his hero.
