In this current "crazy Cobb environment", I took Kenny Rogers famous advice regarding cards.....
" You've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them "


Here is (was) my nicest looking red Cobb card, which was in my SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set for many
years. I acquired this Cobb in the 1990's. And, in recent times I sold it for an offer which I could not refuse.

This red Cobb is by no means a favorite of mine; however, I'm posting it anyhow as an example of an occasional PSA blunder :)

That's just a data error when they did the label like these two.

Attachment 433640

But the graders are the ones that messed up on these two they both should have received a mk qualifier. They missed where someone made the 1 into
a 3 on the Weimer and where someone drew an emblem on Nicholls uniform sleeve.

Not the prettiest red Cobb; however, it will do.....as it has the back I need for my SWEET CAP Factory #42 overprint run.

It's time for me to show-off my unique red Cobb with an unusually rare LENOX back.

Now..... do not let the " MILITARY SERIES " on the back of this card confuse you :)

After all, Cobb has been quoted as saying...." Baseball is like War ! "

In my wild imagination, I expect that some day we will find a red Cobb with a T80 back on it. This may seem improbable; however,
consider a printer confusing the T80 LENOX (backs) printing plates with the T206 LENOX plates. Both the T206 and T80 cards were
printed concurrently (circa early Spring 1911).

The same type of printing mistake applies to this Cobb; however, it would be a UZIT back. Here Cobb is wielding his "weapon of War" :)
