1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb Red Piedmont 350-460/42 PSA 3 VG
TYRUS TOBACCO GEM!!! Only a handful of issues, mostly ultra-rare or an error card, of the T206 White Borders are more desired than those featuring the incomparable Ty Cobb. As the greatest player in baseball at the time, it isn't hard to see why his cards were more sought-after then and now. You would have to initiate an extensive search to locate another 3 VG T206 Ty Cobb Red Portrait example emanating the outstanding visual appeal of this striking PSA 3 beauty! This Piedmont 350-460 Subjects/Factory 42 offering exhibits the finest possible mid-grade aesthetics in existence!

Heading into the 1910 campaign, Cobb had already captured three straight batting titles on his way to an unprecedented nine consecutive seasons of pacing the Junior Circuit! The regal Carl Horner portrait of the Georgia Peach jumps off the card, accentuated by the robust candy apple red background that has virtually eluded any significant blemishes save for a minor touch left of his face. Adding to the card's luster is the strong centering between four white borders seldom and evenly worn corner tips. The flipside portrays a bold Piedmont Cigarettes advertisement as the final exclamation point for one of the finest mid-grade Ty Cobb T206 subjects you will ever come across!
