Searching for a "Pirate" Cobb....show us these extremely rare "T215" cards ?

Just remembered where I got the scan of the Doolan - 2008 REA. Here's the link: http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2008/441.html

I would assume that the Pirate 96-card set that sold a few years ago included a Cobb. It sounds like a complete set.
Since this Pirate issue is identical to the T215-1 issue; therefore, the Cobb should be the Bat off Shoulder version.

It was a near set...and did NOT include a Cobb.

Interesting thought Jim.

97 is a prime number (can't be divided by anything and still get a whole number). So, (unless cards were printed one at a time, which is quite unlikely) if the cards were printed on sheets, a sheet would have to have all the same front; OR there would have to be double prints; OR there would have to be some non-baseball fronts on the baseball sheets.

Is the reason for thinking there is a Cobb with a Pirate back based on the crossing of the Type 1's ? Just wondering,because if that were the case, what about :

1.) Crandall,New York Nat'l -Type 1,but no Pirate

2.)Ball,Cleveland -Type 1,but no Pirate

3.)Conroy,Washington -Type 1,but no Pirate

4.)Hartsel,Toledo - Type 1,but no Pirate

5.)Latham, N.Y. Nat'l -Type 1,but no Pirate

Anyhow, there are more-just using these as an example.And there seem to be more Pirate backed cards that don't have a Type 1 example,than the other way around.

So,is the theory that there is a Cobb with a Pirate back somewhere out there because there is a Cobb Type 1 ?

Sincerely,Clayton

Craig, those were my thoughts after reading the Legendary description. They came up with their 96/97 assessment by adding Danny Murphy to the 96 they offered. One other possibility is, of course, that there are three players yet to be discovered--including, perhaps, Cobb. After all, this find added five to the checklist.

Yes, there are 96 different subjects....and, one variation....Bobby Byrne (St. Louis) and 2nd card of Byrne
identifying him with Pittsburg (traded August 1909).

In my opinion....the change in teams for Byrne narrows down this set to a 1910 issue ?

If it was a 1912 issue, as catalogued, there would not have been any reason to issue two cards of Byrne.

Your thoughts, gentleman ? ?
