Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Beautiful mid-grade example of what is recognized as one of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb's iconic cards. The red background pose has long been considered one of the great classics of the T206 set and of all vintage cards. The offered example displays a bright red background, superb image quality, honest corner wear (surface damage along the lower left), and outstanding centering. Boldly printed Sweet Caporal 350-460/42 reverse. The T206 Cobb red background portrait is one of the key cards from the T206 set, and this example would be a worthy addition to a world class Hall of Famer or Ty Cobb card collection. Opening Bid $10.
