1909-11 Ty Cobb T206 Red Portrait with Back – The Lucky 7 Find – PSA 2.5

Offered here is one of the most historically significant and visually striking cards in the hobby: the T206 Ty Cobb Red Portrait with Sweet Caporal back, graded PSA 2.5 and designated “The Lucky 7 Find.” This iconic card features Cobb in his classic Detroit uniform against a bold red background, a portrait that has come to define pre-war baseball card aesthetics. What sets this example apart is its direct provenance from the famed Lucky 7 Find—a once-in-a-generation discovery of seven Ty Cobb-backed T206 cards in pristine condition inside a southern home. With rich color, crisp registration, and excellent eye appeal for the grade, this card represents both a cornerstone of vintage collecting and a piece of hobby folklore. A true collector’s prize.
