IMPORTANT NOTE: This will come with a letter from PSA stating it is a Type I photo. They are in process of completing the letter.

Cobb is looking intense in this 4.75 x 6.5" Type 1 photograph. The Georgia Peach is gripping his bat and appears to be teaching the photographers how to swing "the Cobb way." This classic image features beautiful dark tones and looks surprisingly similar to George Granthan Bain photography. "Ty Cobb" is written in pencil on the back along with a "Brown Brothers" stamp.  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.
