Description
1910 E98 "Set of 30" Ty Cobb (Red) - PSA Mint 9. It's not one of the more famous issues of the Dead Ball Era, but that's part of the reason that we love it. With well-deserved deference to the tobacco issues that dominate the late 19th and early 20th century cardboard calendar, the candy cards of the day offer some of The Standard Catalog's most compelling graphics, notably the iconic Cracker Jack entries of 1914 and 1915, and this E98 issue that echoes its bold aesthetics.This Cobb card, in particular, commands attention for its rare attention to the defensive half of Ty Cobb's game. While the Georgia Peach was in the midst of a nine-season streak of American League batting championships when this card was issued, a fact that would validate any art director's decision to choose a batting image, this deviation from the norm is a huge part of its appeal. It's a rather unusual fielding image as well, Cobb stretched to his limit by a towering liner that failed to escape his leaping grasp.
Graded PSA Mint 9. But the condition is undeniably the most compelling trait of this particular specimen, which enters its twelfth decade of existence virtually untouched by the merciless hands of Father Time. The experts have assigned a grade just a half-point short of perfection, but our search for any fault whatsoever comes up empty. An absolute miracle of a card from the height of Cobb's undisputed reign.
