(LOT 170)
1909-11 T206 Piedmont 350-460 Subjects Ty Cobb Bat Off Shoulder PSA 3 VG

BAT OFF TYRUS!!!... Regarding sheer stature, the four T206 Cobb subjects stand alongside other pre-war icons such as the T206 Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth Baltimore News and M101 Rookie, T206 Eddie Plank, and Goudey Lajoie. Presented here is the highly coveted T206 Cobb Bat Off Shoulder pose in a super eye pleasing PSA 3 holder, with this particular offering revealing a Piedmont 350-460 subjects ad back. Ty Cobb's unparalleled batting achievements include 12 batting titles in a 13-year stretch, nine of which were achieved over an unfathomable nine consecutive seasons! A 1936 charter member of baseball's Hall of Fame, his .366 lifetime batting average is widely regarded as one of baseball's unbreakable records and his status as one of our National Pastime's greatest players is forever embedded in the hearts and minds of baseball's most prominent enthusiasts.

The card itself portrays spectacular gray hues on Cobb's classic Tigers uniform as well as the detailed intensity projected from his facial expression. Cobb looks as if he is about to unleash his iconic swing that ultimately led to a seemingly infinite number of line drive safeties. You can literally see the wood grain detail on Cobb's bat, the smoke emanating from the period style smokestack, and his revered hands apart grip that serves as a steadfast reminder of how the Georgia Peach easily controlled every one of his majestic swings. Final compliments include radiant yellow, orange, blue and green colored tints, excellent centering, bright white borders and relatively clean surfaces, with corner wear accounting for the assessment.
