Ted - another interesting question relates to the Ty Cobb back which I don't believe your post addressed. While I do not have an opinion as to whether the Ty Cobb back was issued with the T-206 set or a stand alone set, nor do I have any opinions on the date at which it was issued (1910ish or 1914ish), I do find it interesting that his collection contained a Ty Cobb backed card that seems to have been obtained during the period of issue (whenever that may be) as opposed to years later. Also, I'm curious as to where the senator lived during his teenage years. If Georgia, this may add more credence to Rob L's assumption that Ty Cobb backed cards were produced for the Georgia area.
