Ryan, I know there is a T216 Cobb lean-on-bat T216-3 (the thin paper w/o a factory #) "Detroit Am." It is the exemplar used in the 2006 SCD checklist.


I have picked up a few over the years, up to around 25, but have only recently started studying the backs. VE and T216-3 have thin paper and no factory #. T216-1 (1.2.3. Kotton fact 11), T216-2 Kotton fact 4, Mino Fact 4.

I would like to get checklists for all 5 backs, but I'm gathering more information before I start a post about it. I believe T216-3 (which I believe should be called type 1) and VE should be similar in subjects as they are similar in design, likewise MINO and T216-2(fact 4). The most common set seems to be the Kotton 123 fact 11's. I'll post more later on this as It's mostly conjecture.

Here's a Tinker port run off to a good start...

Great thread guys..Ryan and DJ I had a D303 General Baking Cobb but it was the different pose...the Tango Cobb I had was of the same pose(s) that Ryan has....I have not seen a Mothers Bread Cobb yet...Jerry

Very nice, Dean


More on Cobb leaning backs

I found these old stock photos on Dave's gfg.. he notes he sold the D303 on eBay for less than $300...

Okay, so here's what's known for T216 Cobb lean-on-bat

T216-1 123 fact 11 Detroit Americans
T216-2 Fact 4 Detroit Americans
T216-3 No fact Detroit Am.
T216 Mino Fact 4 Detroit Americans

If you all find a Virginia Extra, I would expect it to have the "Detroit Am." caption like the T216-3

Here's a T216-2 from 2008 REA....(not mine)

Also, to get back more on topic, I have a T205 run that I need to scan and will post later. Rob
