Ty Cobb autographed photo, one of the finest (6.5x8.5"). During his 24-year Hall of fame career in compiling his 4, 191 hits, Cobb was legendary for his fierce play and demeanor. Here the great Detroit Tiger is smiling. Probably just before a game in which the smile disappeared and the fierce Cobb reemerged to wreak havoc. Unusual in that its not personalized. Detroit uniform. Type I photo. From Boston area person fresh to the hobby. Might have seen used for publishing or card set. Corner clip. Authenticated by PSA and signature has been graded "9". Comes with PSA LOA.

Fine assemblage of fresh to the market Ty Cobb ephemera. Recently discovered in the Boston area, it includes some of the finer signed photographs we have seen in all our years and some beautiful Type I photographs aq well. We believe this came from something of an industrial source and they were likely used for some publishing venture or perhaps even a card set which was never completed (more cards of this era were created in the New England area versus any other). These fine pieces will also seen in future Lelands auctions incuding a wonderful image of the classic Ty Cobb “Sliding” photograph by Charles Conlon.
