Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Very attractive, technically mid-grade example of #30 Ty Cobb from the classic 1914 Cracker Jack series. The 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb is universally recognized as one of card collecting's great classics, and one of Ty Cobb's most desirable and striking cards. Cobb is featured on this card in a batting pose set against a deep red background. Bright and crisp, with bold colors, even wear to the corners, and outstanding centering. A couple moderate to heavy creases are present but despite this, it displays a superior appearance. The reverse is entirely clean with bold black print. The classic Cracker Jack set is considered by many to be the most beautiful card set ever issued. The E145 Ty Cobb has always been, and will always be, in high demand, and the offered example would make a worthy addition to any Cracker Jack, Hall of Fame, or classic-card collection.
