and in this clip Mr. Boyd, Mr. Murphy and the paper are asking for "pictures" of Cobb while Mr. Smith

I wonder which Cobb the kids were after, the Cobb Portrait Green or the Cobb Bat On Shoulder? Both came out the same time. You'd think it would be relatively easy to find at least one example of a Cobb if there were 2 different Cobbs available to pull during the early Piedmont 150 series.

Pat that is awesome. Had not seen that particular article before.

Would love to get my hands on that reply letter from American Tobacco to Congressman Calder!

If any card is not included in a package ( tobacco or bubble gum , candy etc ) is it part of the set ?
