Tim,
I'm curious as to why you list Ty Cobb as 1910-1912. As far as I know, all the know ads for the brand are from early 1910. What would lead you to believe it continued to be produced until 1912. My best guess is that it was a very short-lived specialty brand of the ATC. JimB |

Everything about the product and advertisements you and I are in agreement on. What opened up the possibility of a later date was the Ty Cobb tin auctioned by REA earlier this year. It had a full tax stamp with a date of August 15, 1912. This tin shows, at the least, that there was a brief redistribution of the Ty Cobb tobacco in 1912. It was done by a factory in Maryland, after the ATC trust break up. Because of this I left the possible dates of the Cobb cards distribution open.
