T206 PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 survey......UPDATED

[cfc1909]

Just reread this thread- I too have a Latham

Picked up my Lajoie from Tony and his wife at a Fort Washington show and the Young and M. Brown were some of my first ebay purchases-early 2000 maybe 2002. If memory serves me right the M. Brown was a $125 BIN.

hey ted-
in case you hadn't seen the raw red cobb 460/42 that sold this morning on ebay, here is the item #220468763520 for verification.
as always, thank you for your contributions!

I was wondering when another Red Cobb was going to finally show up. And, there is no mistaking this one for a previously
reported red Cobb with a PIEDMONT 460/42 back.

On the first day (4/2/09) of the Red Cobb survey, there were 6 - P460/42 inputs. By the end of the first week there were
a total of 10 inputs. After 2 weeks there was a total of 12 inputs. Then it took 3 1/2 months to get the 13th input.

Thanks to you, we now have a 14th example.

These P460/42 red Cobb's are turning out to be an "exponential trip"....I expect the 15th red Cobb to be reported 6 months
from now

This survey is in its 4th week and two more new inputs has been reported from Net54er's......
Red Cobb and CYoung



PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 survey......Updated 8/27/09


Cobb (red portrait).....14

Cobb (bat).................5

Johnson (pitch)...........4

Lajoie (bat)................6

Matty (dark cap).........6

CYoung (glove)...........6


I know this is a very tough T206 back....but, if we can get as many as 14 inputs of the Red Cobb
portrait with the PIEDMONT 460/42 back....then I am sure we can get some more inputs on these
5 additional stars.

Very interesting......so far, these results are confirming what we had expected to see......
that the Red Cobb with the Piedmont 460/42 back is a DOUBLE-PRINT.

We will continue this survey a little longer to see if this is indeed so ?

Ted,

Great research. I have suspected for a while that Cobb (Red Portrait) was a double print with Piedmont 42. If true, it may well be that Cobb (Red Portait) was also double-printed with other backs. It is easy to imagine a sheet with Cobb (Red Portrait) double-printed on the front that was printed with several different backs, Piedmont 42 being one.
