Graded EX+ 70 by SGC. This is the ONLY example graded at this level by SGC with none higher! Very attractive example of Ty Cobb from the W516-2-2 strip-card series. Cobb is depicted in a fielding pose as a member of the Detroit Tigers. W516-2-2 are rarely deemed worthy of numerically grading. Because of its ideal cut, this is one of the few exceptions! The hand-cut card displays bold colors, a crisp image, and light corner wear. The blank reverse is clean. This is a fantastic example of this classic Ty Cobb strip-card and one that would be a significant addition to any Ty Cobb, strip-card, or prewar-card collection. Opening Bid $200.
