Ted ZanidakisSince you seem to doubt my info regarding the Ty Cobb card being a post 1911 issue....which,
I base on the "4th Dist. N.C." nomenclature on its back....I hope that Brian Weisner can provide
us some more definitive information.
Now, one of the reinforcing pieces of evidence that I have are my two Piedmont Tobacco packs.
I have an ATC pack issued in 1909 which is Factory #25 2nd Dist. Virginia and an L&M pack issued
in 1911, which is Factory #42 4th Dist. North Carolina.
I believe there is a correllation between the latter Tobacco district here and the Ty Cobb district,
that shows the Ty Cobb to have been issued later than the full run of the T206's.
Jim, do not dismiss the significance of the Factory #33 factor.
