1909-11 T206 Ty Cobb Red Portrait Sweet Caporal 350-460 Subjects/30 PSA 2.5 GOOD+
GEORGIA PEACH T206!!! The iconic T206 Ty Cobb red portrait subject truly stands as one of the hobby's cornerstone cardboard masterpieces, with its classic Carl Horner portrait image effectively turning back the clock to the turn of the 20th century. This PSA 2.5 Sweet Caporal 35-460 Subjects/Factory 30 offering serves as a sheer reminder of how the immortal Georgia Peach dominated our National Pastime for over two decades, with his earth-shattering 12 batting titles (including nine consecutive titles from 1907-15), a seemingly unbreakable record. Impeccable resolution, fine centering, a bold red background, and an absolutely mesmerizing Cobb pose dominate the show, with even corner wear, some general surface wear, and a soiling spot along the lower right border accounting for the assessment. A relatively clean ad back is the final thumbs-up for this affordable tobacco marvel representing one of baseball's foremost legends!
