Graded EX+ 5.5 by SGC. Outstanding high-grade example of one of Ty Cobb's most sought-after cards. The offered card has a bright yellow background, outstanding registration, and light corner wear (slightly weaker top left). Clean reverse with bold green print. The Sport Kings is one of Cobb's most popular and majestic cards. Being the No.1 card in the set, this card gravitated to the top of a stack, exposing it to extra wear and handling and thus making high-grade examples even more difficult to find than most other Sport Kings and other Cobb cards. This is a fantastic example of one of Cobb's classic cards. Opening Bid $1,500.
