Cool thread, Ted. So why wasn't there a Pirate Cobb?

A Pirate Cobb.......^.......ready to do battle

Good question, I don't think my 57-post thread that Chris just bumped up solves this mystery. Cobb (bat off shoulder) was in the RED CROSS (T215-1) set.

Ted, excuse me for kind of skimming that thread (I was only searching for 'Cobb', as it makes no sense to me that any 1910 set would not include him), but what's the quick answer as to why these Pirate backs are not included in the debate along with Coupon and Red Cross Type 1's?

(I know you don't mind repeating yourself, or I would start searching again).

You are "gunning" for Net54 "chaos"

We are having enough consternation here trying to include the 1910 COUPON cards into the "T206 family"......much less the RED CROSS cards.
And, now you are asking to add the "PIRATE" cards into this mix ! ?

I say, this set cannot be part of the T206 family if it doesn't have a Cobb

So Scott, what do you say to that ?


Perhaps, the troops who were in the South Pacific (where the Pirate cigarettes were shipped to) were no fans of Mr Cobb ? ?

Aarghhhh!

I know Ty Cobb hated the Pirates.
