Ty Cobb

In light of the Rose vs Ichiro thread, lets see your cards/items of the original hit king.

This is my 1st Cobb and I have two at PSA now.

There's a great Conb book out now called terrible beauty I'm half way through it now

I'll add this card as the only Cobb card that I currently. There are a bunch of other Ty Cobb cards that I would love to have some day, however.

That's what I was hoping to see, the rarer issue card.

Great card!

Doesnt seem like he was the most horrible person ever in baseball anymore does it?

How did Cobb treat fans who may race up to him for his auto?

Just curious.

Great Cobb's, Thanks for sharing.

Trimming a card was the hardest thing I ever did, but the E101 was trimmed to begin with.

Here's how it should look (reprint)

Here's how I bought it (looks like a mouse chewed the edges)

Here's how it came out and freshly authenticated.

Great cards of a great hitter

With that amount of creasing, I think a PSA 2 is what it would cross to. Potentially a 2.5 on review after it's in a PSA 2 holder. Doubtful it would bump at SGC since they don't have a centering priority for half grade bumps.

SDSportsFan · June 23, 2016 12:38PM

I agree with Larkin. With the creasing, corners, and the tear in the top border, that card is accurately graded.

Regardless of grade, that green cobby is sweet. Finding one centered like that is quite a chore.

Edited to add: That E101 Cobby is sweet as well. A classic pose that I hope to add to my collection some day.

Read "War on the Basepaths" - IMHO, the superior bio of Cobb.
