Description
1933 Sport Kings Ty Cobb #1 SGC NM-MT 8 - Pop One, Two Higher! Topping the great Babe Ruth for the No. 1 spot (the "Bambino" is card #2), Ty Cobb, the famous "Georgia Peach," kicks off the 1933 Sport Kings multi-sport set that features some of the best athletes from various disciplines including boxing (Jack Dempsey), football (Red Grange), golf (Bobby Jones) and even track and field (Babe Didrikson). Cobb, the 12-time American League batting champ and the man who still owns Major League Baseball's highest batting average in history (.366), was the perfect choice to bat leadoff.The combination of Cobb's star power and his appearance as the first card in the set makes this one of the toughest issues to find in high grade. That's why this particular example of card #1 from the '33 Sport Kings series is such a gem. Boasting rich colors, excellent centering, four surprisingly good corners and a clean reverse, this specimen would make a great addition to anyone's vintage collection. Graded SGC NM-MT 8. Of the more than 300 examples found in the SGC Pop Report, this is the only card graded NEAR MINT-MINT with just two rated higher.
