Graded VG+ 3.5 by PSA. Very attractive mid-grade example of one of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer 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 card features a brilliant red background, outstanding registration, and honest corner wear (small wrinkle below the top right). Clean and boldly printed Sweet Caporal 350-460/42 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.
