Dan - that is the only year that The Sporting Life made a team postcard set. That postcard is generally considered Cobb's earliest appearance on a "card."

Maybe you were thinking of a 1905 The Sporting Life premium?

I have no idea who owns this card but it is #1 for me.

EASY for me;

I want Richard's 1910 Orange Border George Gibson

To many great cards to choose from so maybe the best option would be one
of these.

Funny how you bring that up about Ty Cobb. There was a special insert in my Atlanta Newspaper on Ty Cobb. Back in his early days playing for Royston Reds. It had a nice pic of him with 4 kids showing he was born in Northeast Georgia where he got his start. Then there was another team photo in the 1890's where he looked very young, much like that one posted here.
** I will see to scan those photos and the reading material for ya guys. Or maybe you can see it in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution dated Sunday May 17th. It was in the E-section called Living & Arts.

UPDATE with some PICS from newspaper:
