Description
1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb #30 PSA NM-MT 8. Feared by most, but respected by all, Tyrus Raymond Cobb was the Machiavellian ideal of the early game, forging his Cooperstown bronze in the fires of natural ability and gritted-teeth determination. Though Cobb's staggering career hits tally of 4,189 was ultimately eclipsed, his ultimate batting record remains his .366 career batting average. No superlative seems suitably appropriate for a card such as this, a nearly peerless amalgam of significance and aesthetics.This card features one of our favorite images of the Georgia Peach, rife with period details like the baggy flannel jersey with long sleeves and high collar, the wide grip on the bat. It is perfectly registered against the blood red background, reminiscent of the T206 card that many consider the definitive cardboard Cobb. But those entries from the American Tobacco Company are downright common compared to the offered commemorative, with the full PSA population at all grades tallying just north of 150. Of that tiny census, only five submissions have earned a higher grade. This is a spectacular PSA NM-MT 8 example that dodges the common faults of candy staining, imperfect registration and general handling wear that is nearly ubiquitous for the issue.
Guide Value or Estimate: $200,000 - up.
