Description
1910-11 T3 Turkey Red Ty Cobb #9 SGC 80 EX/NM 6 - Pop Two, One Higher. Only the most generously sized canvas -- such as that afforded by the beloved T3's -- was capable of successfully capturing the essence of a turn-of-the-century player and sharing the results with the observer. That magical quality is ably demonstrated by this gorgeous Cobb example, where the great hitter's posed likeness manages to impart every iota of his competitive fire and zeal for excellence. Strictly speaking, the premium's illustration -- done in the finest colors and conceding no trace of impairment in the manifestation of its artistry -- shows a man, standing, holding a bat. But a single second of concentration reveals far more. Cobb's demeanor appears to pulsate with intensity, as if, even within the context of a still photo, he's determined not to be outdone. There's no home plate in the picture, but that doesn't seem to matter to an athlete whose grim look shows that every ounce of preparation for game action is nevertheless alive and ready. The power of the scene is reinforced by fields of orange in the image's distant sky, and by the manner in which the grass and dirt field fade, as the viewer is drawn irresistibly to the center ... where Cobb returns the gaze.Graded SGC 80 EX/NM 6. One of two examples graded EX/NM with one rated higher from a total census currently at 96. If you think you'll find fault with this card you will not. Some gentle corner wear and some faint reverse ghosting doesn't even begin to affect the superior overall aesthetic. His central portrait is gorgeous! Colors are as vivid and supple as one could hope to find. Extremely clean and vibrant. The reverse displays a checklist itemizing Baseball and Boxing subjects from #'s 1 to 76. One Turkey Red or Cobb fan is going to be extremely happy when bidding ends.
