Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Graded EX+ 5.5 by PSA. Presented is an extremely attractive example of this classic tobacco card of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb. The green background pose has long been considered the rarest of the four poses of Cobb in the T206 set. The offered example is bright, crisp, and clean, with beautiful colors, light corner wear, and centering slightly toward the top left. The Sweet Caporal 350 advertising reverse is boldly printed. This is a very visually appealing example of one Cobb's most popular cards from the premier tobacco issue of the 1910 era. Reserve $5,000.
