(LOT 225)
1909 T206 Ty Cobb Green Portrait Piedmont 150/25 PSA 2 GD

GREEN COBB!!! Pre-war enthusiasts would surly agree that one of the "hottest" collectibles in the card market is the hallowed T206 "Green Portrait" that is realizing record prices with each and every sale. Incredibly, mid-grade examples are now exceeding five figures, with this tobacco heirloom arguably residing as one of the hobby's most coveted tobacco cards. Of the four hallowed T206 Cobb issues, the most coveted and valuable subject is the Ty Cobb Green Portrait pose portraying Carl Horner's seemingly timeless Cobb image. Easily residing as one of the most coveted cardboard mementos in the hobby, it is included on virtually every elite enthusiast's "top 10" list including PSA's "Top 250 Sports Cards" publication.

Presented here just happens to be a PSA 2 Green Portrait Cobb with a Piedmont 150/25 subjects back. Along with Babe Ruth and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, no pre-war Hall of Famer carries the prestige among sophisticated hobbyists as the immortal "Georgia Peach". Cobb stands as one of baseball's greatest players ever, justifying why his renowned baseball card issues are aggressively pursued by advanced collectors. This Cobb card is one to own. Soft corners with a minor crease on the bottom right side create the 2 GD. One to own for the Cobb collector.
