Frank W and Wonka
It's my opinion that every T206 card, that American Lithographic printed 100+ years ago, has been seen in these past 50 years by veteran Tobacco
card collectors (and new collectors who surf the internet). This includes the Joe Doyle error card and the Red Cobb/Ty Cobb card. The Joe Doyle error was known to a few, prior to Larry Fritsch revealing his card in the early 1980's. Anyone, who was familiar with Senator Richard Russell's boyhood tobacco card collection (on display at the Univ. of Georgia) would have seen the Joe Doyle error card. Furthermore, they would've also seen in this collection the Ty Cobb back Cobb card. So, I do not think we will see any more heretofore unknown (normal issue) T206's. The obvious absence of any HINDU backed Ty Cobb cards in both the T205 set and T206 set is not a mere coincidence. For unknown reasons, there was some sort of "taboo" between Factory #649 and Cobb. Why do I think this ? Consider the following...... (a) .... The Red Cobb is the most prolifically printed white-bordered subject. This Cobb is found with no less than 24 different T206 backs....plus T213, T214, and T215 backs. (b) .... Surveys of the various T206 backs have proven that the Red Cobb was Double-Printed with respect to certain brands. (c) .... The T205 Cobb is found with 8 different backs in this issue. Yet, still NONE of the five Cobb's in these two Tobacco card issues have been found with any authentic HINDU backs. Tell me John, is all this just serendipitous ? I don't think so. By design, Mr. Cobb and HINDU are mutually exclusive. FRANK W There is approx. a 2-to-1 ratio of Green Cobb responses to Demmitt & O'Hara responses in your survey. There are several of us who have 2, 3, or more Green Cobb cards in our T206 collections. But, our vote counts for only one. So, I just wanted to point out that there are most likely 2000 Green Cobb cards in circulation. While there are probably no more than 400-500 Demmitt or O'Hara cards out there. But, I would guess you are aware of this. TED Z
