Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards

Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. One of only two examples of this front/back combination graded at this level by PSA with just one higher. Exceptional T206 White Border of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb (bat off shoulder) with a desirable El Principe De Gales advertising reverse. The T206 Ty Cobb bat-off-shoulder pose is one of the most striking Cobb cards in all of card collecting. The fact that this example features an uncommon El Principe advertising reverse makes it of particularly special note. Bright and crisp with honest corner wear. The advertising reverse is boldly printed and clean. There is a light crease in the upper left above Cobb's cap noted strictly for accuracy. This is a fantastic scarce-back example of this classic Ty Cobb tobacco card, worthy of even the most advanced Ty Cobb, Hall of Fame, or T206-back collection. Opening Bid $10.
