1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb Portrait Red Sweet Caporal 350-460/30 PSA 4 VG-EX
CLASSIC PORTRAIT COBB!!!... One of the hobby's highly coveted cards is any of the four momentous T206 TY Cobb subjects that are classified as Top 250 Sportscards. Of course, it's the iconic T206 Red Portrait marvel depicting Carl Horner's timeless Cobb portrait image that resides as one of the most recognizable cardboard keepsakes along with the T206 Honus Wagner and '52 Topps Mantle. This PSA 4 VG-EX Red Portrait Cobb revealing a Sweet Caporal 350-460 ad back merits serious consideration for any esteemed gathering. A 1936 charter member of baseball's HOF, Cobb still holds the highest MLB lifetime batting average (.366), with some historians considering him baseball's greatest all-time player.

His unparalleled desire to be the best of the best led to an unprecedented 12 batting titles in 13 seasons, and likewise, the classic image of the immortal Georgia Peach is a bona fide winner. A near-flawless bold red background propels the sanctified pose to a world-class presentation, and no obtrusive surface flaws are evident. Even corner wear and some soiling along the lower right border prevent a higher assessment, with the relatively clean verso portraying a bold red "Sweet Caporal 350-460 Subjects" advertisement. A super desirable tobacco Cobb masterpiece, it serves as a sheer reminder of how this uncanny batsman terrorized pitchers throughout his illustrious 24-year career!
