Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Graded VG 3 by SGC. Beautiful example of this classic tobacco card of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb. The red background pose has long been considered one of the most classic of all Ty Cobb cards. Bright and clean, both front and back, with a bold red background, flawless image, light corner wear, and centering toward the top. Boldly printed Sweet Caporal 350/30 advertising reverse. Surface wrinkles on the reverse largely account for technical downgrade. This is an outstanding mid-grade example of one of Cobb's most famous and classic cards from the premier tobacco issue of the 1910 era. Reserve $10.
