What We Have Learned About Ty Cobbs With a Ty Cobb Back

[esd10]

I dont know much about this issue but if these have tobacco stains on the back then this product was sold in a limited amount for a short time but only 15 survive? This baffles me when Cobb was such a large star of the time no one would keep this card except for a few and half came from the lucky 7 find.

I think that there are now 23 known, including a find of 5 cards and also the lucky 7. So more that half of them came from two sources.

my example also has solid registration..... what is interesting is the tone of darkness of the "D" on cobbs shirt.. i have seen most with a darker "D".. and a few including mine with a lighter "D".. just an interesting note on the variant of the card..

[Blunder19]

it would be interesting to see how many "light D" versions of the cobb back are out there.. im aware of 4.. mine and Ryans.. another one of the lucky 7s.. and an older scan i have of one other.. anyone have a picture of all known and can answer the question?...

3 of the 7 Lucky 7 have the light D, 2 of the 2.5 and the 1.5.

Hi Jamie

I posted a picture of a Ty Cobb / TY COBB which has a light "D".
