One of the rarest Ty Cobb cards in existence is up for auction at Robert Edward auctions, and is expected to bring in at least $300,000. The W600 Sporting Life cabinets were issued over a period of years ( 1902-1911 ), and Ty Cobb's card was issued in 1907. This is one of only six examples in known existence. I always get a thrill when a treasure like this surfaces at auction.

Yes sir, I've got my popcorn ready!
Beautiful card. I've never seen that one before. However Ty Cobbs rookie year was 1905.

Thanks for the correction on the rookie year. I edited out the part about his rookie year being in 1907. 🖒
The Ty Cobb is already up to $200,000. There is also a Honus Wagner being auctioned, and the Wagner is up to $90,000. I love this stuff!
I've seen both in person, (not necessarily these exact cards) and they are special.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Babe Ruth also being auctioned off at the same time. The Ruth is up to $140,000.
