2nd....regarding your comment...."time of issue (completely unknown and unproven)"

IS TOTALLY FALSE !


We have Macon, Georgia Newpaper clippings reporting of this card in the Spring of 1910.

FURTHERMORE, Senator Russell's T206 and T210 collection (on display at the U. of Georgia) includes
a Ty Cobb back card. It is documented.....Mr. Russell collected his tobacco cards as a teenager in the
year of 1910. Therefore, American Litho. printed & issued this card in 1910.......

DO YOU GET IT, NOW ?


Once again, if you bothered to use the SEARCH feature on this forum you would have learned all this.
Before you made these erroneous comments.

Ted...why do you even bother...I just dont think a certain someone will ever get it or even entertain an idea that is not his own. I understand there are questions on this card but like all the others ...if there is no definitive evidence to make a change....the classification needs to stay where its at! I wouldnt even waste your breath on this one because if he has nobody to argue with maybe he will just go away!! We can only hope!!

Myself probably like some others on this board are more or less T206 novices. I love learning about all aspects of the monster. But how many times can the same issue be revisited without having any substantial value added?

I think you are missing the key element. The "substantial value" part is actually added each time this topic comes up. If there werent a strong case against the card, you wouldnt see nearly as many...if any threads on it. The fact that this topic is so frequently discussed IS the substantial added value!

That is why every time I see any T206 thread appear I make sure I read every post, however I am not seeing anything new from the last few on the Cobb/Cobb discussion. I'm not saying not to start new threads on it, just an observation.
