Graded VG 3 by SGC. One of two examples graded at this level by SGC with just one higher. Exceptional T206 White Border of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb (bat off shoulder) with a very desirable American Beauty 460 advertising reverse. The T206 Ty Cobb bat-off-shoulder pose is one of the most striking Cobb cards in all of card collecting. The fact that this example features an uncommon American Beauty 460 advertising reverse makes it of particularly special note. T206Resource.com ranks American Beauty 460 as the 13th most difficult back to acquire out of 39 total backs available within the T206 White Border set. The offered card has brilliant colors, outstanding registration, and moderate corner wear. The important American Beauty 460 advertising reverse is boldly printed. Unobtrusive creasing in the bottom right contributes to the assigned grade. This is a fantastic scarce-back example of this classic Ty Cobb tobacco card, worthy of even the most advanced Ty Cobb, Hall of Fame, or T206-back collection.
