Scott M.Ted,
These kinds of threads always inspire me as I love to do research on various card issues to see what I can turn up.
Interestingly, I found a blurb which seems to "announce" the Ty Cobb brand that was published on the following dates and locations:
March 5, 1910 - Tuscon, AZ (Look in the stray topics from New York section)
March 6, 1910 - Grand Forks, ND
March 8, 1910 - San Jose, CA
Obviously the blurb says nothing about where the brand was to be distributed (likely locally in Georgia) but at least this does seem to tell us that the brand was kicked off (or at least announced) in early 1910.
