Default T206 Ty Cobb Green Backs

Does anyone know what type of backs are associated with the T-206 Ty Cobb green portrait?

I know of Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, and Sovereign, but don't know of any others. I tried to search some of the other posts, but was unable to locate any info on the Green Portrait.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

You might want to download Scot Reader's "inside T206" (link below) which covers which cards come with which backs. He updated it recently, and it's free

http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t206/t...?cardsetID=699

The green Cobb is covered on page 62. It comes with an Old Mill back and a Brown Hindu among others.

edited to add: Oops, I just checked and that link no longer works. Does anyone have a fresh link?

Ted & Anthony,

I appreciate the info.

Also, how tough is the old mill back to find?

I'd say that the OLD MILL is quite tough. A T206 survey indicates that on the average, one OLD MILL
is found for any combination of 14 other backs that are listed in my initial post here.

I've never even seen one with a Hindu back. Any idea how many might be out there?

Default Doug C.....Green Cobb with brown HINDU back

In the T206 survey I cited in my earlier post here, one HINDU was confirmed from a total of 96 green Cobb's.
So, this is indeed a rare back for this Cobb.

Ted,

According to Heitman, EPDG should be possible with this card. Don't know how we can disprove it?
