Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Outstanding mid-grade example of one of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famers Ty Cobb's iconic cards. The red-background pose has long been considered one of the classics of the T206 set and of all vintage cards. This well-centered card features a brilliant red background, outstanding registration, and even corner wear. Boldy printed Piedmont 350-460/25 advertising reverse. The red-background Cobb portrait is one of the key cards of the set, and this example would be a highlight in any high-quality T206, Hall of Famer, or Ty Cobb card collection.
