Yes, a green AB back was auctioned recently.

I have either owned or seen the following Ty Cobbs...I track backs pretty carefully and only add to the list the backs I can confirm...

American Beauty Green
Hassan Fact. 30
Honest Long Cut
Piedmont Fact. 25
Piedmont Fact. 42
Polar Bear

I think this list is likely complete (but I have been surprised before).

I agree with Josh.... I haven't seen Cobb with any other backs, and I also track them. Be well Brian

Thanks for the info. It is interesting that the Cobb back set may be complete at 6 of the 17 possible. I don't think that the T205 set has been as thoroughly analyzed at the T206's, but I would be interested to find out why the other brands didn't use Cobb's image.

Thanks again for everyones input.

I had a Cobb Blank Back for many years which I listed in REA's May 2009 auction [Lot 316 - page 137] The designation was Authentic Printing Incomplete [Back]. This is a hannd cut card, considered by some to be a "Proof" and it is most likely a unique example.

If the winner of this item ever tires of it .... let me know.

I know the winner of that card and doubt you will ever see it again. I was also shocked at the hammer on that card.

At around $1500 that card should have gone for several multiples of that, imo.....I was focused on other things, too bad.

It's interesting that Cobb is unknown with a back as common as Sweet Caporal. Anyone have a theory why?
