Joe D.now... the cobby red is the earlier one (from what I've been told).
Looking at the back of the Cobb/Cobb - it is green.
While this may or may not have made a difference from a printer's perspective (maybe marginal difference / maybe none)... from a pure marketing stand point - If your brand was green, wouldn't you go with the green portrait on the front?
Can I admit that as circumstantial evidence that the cobb/cobb came out prior to the green portrait cobb? That is why the green wasn't chosen... because it wasn't a known option yet.
Okay.. its not a rock solid argument - but we don't have much to go on.
If it can be shown that the "Ty Cobb" brand was out after the T206 printing... then in my eyes it is not a T206. If it was out during the T206 print run... I think it should be included.
And if we find out Ty Cobb brand was prior to the T206 printing... then that is a new scenario altogether - and we may have to consider the card the mother of all T206s!!!
