Ted ZanidakisLeon beat me to the "punch" with proof positive. But, us old dudes were well aware of this
card: however, I don't recall any huge excitement over it as is now....it was seldom seen,
so I guess "out of sight....out of mind", back then.
The Joe Doyle error, which is equal in rarity to this Ty Cobb back card, is more of a mystery
since it was an unknown card, till the mid-1980's. Burdick was unaware of it.
Sorry to be nit-picking on something you said earlier in this Thread.....
"Barry: I think it is important to note that everything about the card is consistent with T206."
This Ty Cobb's FACTORY #33, is unique to this card.....and, that's what sets it apart from all
the 524 - T206's. This is not a trivial factor in this debate.
And, the North Carolina District infers that it was most likely issued with an L&M product.....
possibly post 1911.
