You are correct that is a 1920 Holsum card, he was switched to a throwing pose (the same as the E121 Series of 80) for the 1921 Holsum set.

The same pose on your Cobb was in the 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy/H801 Boston Store set. As are most of the poses in the 1920 Holsum Bread set.

Thanks Rhett. I don't know much about these cards but lately have picked up
This Cobb and a few m101-4 Joe Jacksons. I really like the back variations - like t206, which is my favorite. But unlike t206, there doesn't seem to be too much info out there on these 1916-1922 cards (correct range?) other than what I can piece together in population reports. You know a good thread or any good resource?

Thanks for pointing out the differences. My PSA graded Daubert is a Daubert 1921 Holsum Bread. Does anyone have a Jake Daubert 1920 Holsum Bread? I have problems posting photos from my iPhone and Nikon camera due to size of file (too many bits per photo) or I would post. I don't have a scanner.

Ryan, Rhett "wrote the book" on the many 1920-22 issues that closely resemble one another. His comprehensive article, which I refer to frequently, appears in Issue #26 of Old Cardboard Magazine. I believe a copy of this issue can still be purchased for a modest price from OC.

Ryan, sorry if I confused you, but the "book" I was referring to is Rhett's article on the OC Magazine.
