Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
More chocolate goodies from Canada here, with Ty Cobb and Eddie Collins cards joining that of Babe Ruth as the only three baseball entries in the V122 Sports Champions multi-sport set of 56. The unusual issue’s wrapper included “Willard’s Sports Nut Bar” on the front, while “Williards Chocolates Limited” joins the firm’s Toronto address on the back, meaning that “s” is twice lacking in PSA’s identification of the set. Card #39 here informs the uninformed that Ty Cobb also managed the Detroit Tigers, with the famous outfielder also guiding the club for six seasons starting in 1921. The Cobb card is graded GOOD 2 by PSA, with a diagonal crease in the upper right corner region, above Ty’s outstretched glove, and minor damage on the otherwise blank back to note. The Collins card pictures the White Sox’ second basemen grinning and is slabbed VG 3. Just 31 copies of the Cobb are on record at PSA, with only 16 Collins cards ever encapsulated by the firm. You’ll be grinning when these arrive.
