Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Strong example of this classic tobacco card of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb. The green-background pose has long been considered the rarest of the four poses of Cobb in the T206 set. This nicely centered example displays a brilliant green background, outstanding registration, and moderate corner wear. Boldly printed Sweet Caporal 150/30 advertising reverse. A small wrinkle just below the top-left corner on the reverse contributes to the assigned grade. Awarded an MBA Gold Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
