Interesting that, according to Joe O's article, the family believes their great-grandad rolled his own cigarettes and also smoked a pipe. That corresponds with the theory that the Cobb backs were included in the Cobb tobacco tin containing raw tobacco.
Here's a scan of the front/back of the PSA 4.5 in the find:   Steve

Also, before this find, the highest graded Cobb/Cobb was one PSA 3, and one SGC 40. Now, there's a PSA 3.5, along with the above PSA 4.5. PSA had graded eight total, and SGC had graded five.

I'd be searching granddad's house for some Ty Cobb tobacco tins. The fact that these are being found in groups leads me to believe they were most likely issued in that tin and that's the only way they were issued. Possibly for a very short time because of the scarcity of the cards and the tins. Granddad must have liked this brand and bought out his local tobacco shop.
