Well, don't tell anyone but it looks like I was wrrrrrr.... wrong.

1948 and I said late 50s or 60s, I am slipping, ugh!

To be clear I am not positive it is from 1948. And there are references (on a few of the other pages connected) to earlier years. I can't be for sure but when I got it I remember thinking (and maybe it was advertised as such) as it being from the 1950s. I think if we say circa 1950 we will be very close. The other articles do look to be earlier than 1960, closer to 1950.

Perhaps, these might be the same.

No they are different, they have 1 line of name, team and mine (ours) mine and Leon's have the team under the name forming 2 lines.

Also ours have actual magazine articles printed on the backs where that repro booklet won't have that.

You should cut them up and send them in to get graded.

Don't forget the T205 Cobb from a 1956 Gentry magazine issue, a card I owned at one point (my father got it for me when I was 12 from an antiques dealer in Becket, Massachusetts who thought it was a real tobacco card (as did I at the time!) I think that one had a blank back though, although my copy was mounted. H&S had one a couple of years ago: http://mar10.hugginsandscott.com/cgi...l?itemid=19042

I think I paid $18, it's pretty nice.

That Gentry Cobb is very large, about the size of a 1955 Bowman card.
