"Lucky 7" find - Cobb with Cobb back

[packs]

It is not. Then you'd have to count all the T213-1s and the T215-1s. They have the same fronts as well. It is not a new card. The checklist is not broken down by backs, it's broken down by fronts.

Interesting that you say this....since I do indeed consider the 1910 COUPON cards as part of the T206 family.

Furthermore, although I feel ambivalent regarding the T215-1 cards (since some of them were issued in 1912), I could see how they also fit within the T206 rubric.

The only tin found so far that has a stamp on it is dated 1912.

I think it can be considered part of the family but you said it was an addition to the checklist, bringing the cards to 525 total. I don't agree with that because it's not a new card and the checklist isn't developed with backs in mind.

Show me where on this Tin a "1912" date is printed ?

As you said....the 1912 date is from the tax stamp on it. Which does NOT
tell us when this Cobb tobacco or this Cobb card was marketed.

Please check-out Post #81 here, where the early Spring 1910 Newspaper
clippings clearly tell us when these Cobb cards were in circulation.

Here's the picture showing the date.

I'm not following what you're saying. If a card is already on the checklist, why would a back make it a new addition to the checklist? The card is Cobb Red Portrait. Any Cobb Red Portrait with any back is still the same card.

I'm not speculating that this is when the cards were made available. I was
just pointing out the date on the stamp for the distribution of this tobacco/tin.

As far as I know no one is sure the cards were even in these tins.

I did see post #81 and I don't see where it "clearly tells us when the cards
were circulated". I also don't see a date on any of the newspaper clippings.

FOX news just did a segment on the find

I agree with Glyn and Leon. I think these cards will easily exceed $2 Mil....

And, if not then please clarify ?

Then Mr. Barker was Wrong!?
In his American Card Catalog His Lists "Ty Cobb" as 1 of the Backs included in the T206 Set...

The T213-1 and T215-15 He Also Labeled as their OWN Designated Group!

So, "Would You Please Explain "Why" You Guys Know Bettar then the Man Who Wrote the Book!"

I Truly Love You Guyz...
Yet I have Always been a Truest in the Hobby.
Mr. Barker is an Icon!!!

Sorta Like Mr. Jobs, Paul Allen and Bill Gates!

I do Understand the idea that there weren't many "Ty Cobb Backs" Back in the Day. However, That didn't Stop Mr. Barker From adding them to the Set!

Personally ~ I Don't Like it either. But Truth is Truth!!!

Patiently Awaiting Your Replies...

Ohhh and I Would Love ta Know who deemed the T206 Set to Have ONLY 524 Cards in it? According ta Mr. Barker he can't add...
