1909 T206 Ty Cobb Bat on Shoulder Sweet Caporal 150/30 SGC 3 VG
TOBACCO TYRUS!!!... No serious vintage baseball card collection could possibly be considered complete without at least one of the four T206 Ty Cobb subjects issued in the iconic 524-card 1909-11 T206 "Monster Set". One of our National Pastime's greatest all-time players, Cobb is still the owner of baseball's highest lifetime batting average with his .366 mark and 12 batting titles in 13 years; miraculous achievements that will stand the test of time. As a perfect testament for his immortal legacy, presented here is an eye pleasing T206 Ty Cobb "Bat on Shoulder" Sweet Caporal 150 Subjects keepsake in an eye pleasing SGC 3 VG holder. Synonymous with Cobb's unparalleled skill sets comes along this spine-tingling tobacco keepsake depicting the classic Cobb "bat on shoulder" pose, as the incomparable Georgia Peach appears to be ready to stroke another line-drive safety. Incredibly, this offering portrays near-perfect centering, an atypical attribute virtually never seen of this particular subject. Indeed, a majority of the "bat on" specimens have skewed illustrations, with the assessment due to expected corner wear, standard toning/soiling and some scattered surface abrasions along Cobb's upper chin and uniform that do not compromise the stellar central image aesthetics. A formidable SGC 3 tobacco treat, it turns back the clock to an era when Tyrus Raymond Cobb was embarking on what would ultimately become one of the most incomparable careers of any player who ever donned an MLB uniform!
