Well remembered for his astute and stalwart demeanor both on and off the field, baseball was war for Ty Cobb, where he served as a literal general the minute he donned his Tigers pinstripes. Widely regarded as the greatest player in history, images of the hardened competitor are highly sought, and we offer a captivating original 1920s Type I photo of the icon encapsulated as "Authentic" by PSA. A gorgeous portrait image at 7" x 9 1/4" and boasting exceptional clarity with a dignified air, Cobb is pictured especially dapper and stoic, in a well-cut and fashioned suit. The image is clean and problem free, with a few creases to the corners, and a handwritten "9" to the reverse. We should also note a few scratches to the PSA holder. This is a "peach" of a photo worthy of Cobb's Georgian moniker.
