LOL. I will amusingly disagree.

No hard feelings.

Let's argue about this! Is this Ty Cobb or what on this tin type? Yes I know tin types are from 1860-70 so I imagine this could be his Dad. Tin type is top left and the other two are early 1905/06 pictures of Ty.

Thank you, Jay!

Nothing to argue about - ears don't match, not Ty Cobb. Also the tiptype guy has a chin cleft which I haven't seen apparent in any Cobb photo. And of course it's a tintype, which makes as much sense for a Cobb image as Paul Waner wearing a 1900s collared uniform.

Clearly it's not Cobb, but tintype photos were still being made into the 1900s.
