Thanks guys for all your inputs.....this is a good start.

How about you POP report dudes checking out the SGC and PSA reports on the T205 Cobb ?

And, pardon me for repeating....PLEASE INCLUDE THE FACTORY #....of your Cobb's T-brand.
Most of you have, thanks again.....as it is an important bit of information.

Let's keep the inputs rolling in.

Ted,
Cobb only comes with American Beauty Green, Hassan Fact. 30, Honest Long Cut, Piedmont 25, Piedmont 42, and Polar Bear.

Over the last 7 years I have tracked Cobb as one of my "interesting" cards since he was a popular Hall of Famer but not included in most brands of T205. Also his numbers are a little odd when looked at in comparison to the general set.

Here is info. that I have:
I have seen 412 distinct Ty Cobb T205 cards in the last 7 years.
Advertising: # of cards seen % of total
Piedmont Fact. 42: 7 1.6
American Beauty: 12 2.9
Hassan Fact. 30: 26 6.3
Honest Long Cut: 45 10.9
Polar Bear: 82 19.9
Piedmont Fact. 25: 240 58.2

The interesting thing about this information is that it does not quite match up with my totals for overall populations of the different backs. Polar Bear backs actually occur more often in the general population than they do with Cobb. I think Cobb may have been one of later print runs in Polar Bear. Still fairly common though. I have also seen several factory Piedmont Fact. 42s surface in the last few years...more than most Fact. 42s...in fact, I have only seen Wilson as often as Cobb in Fact. 42 Piedmont.

Just for the record...I own two Cobbs...one a Piedmont Fact. 25 and one Honest Long Cut.

Hope this helps Ted.
