Highly-desirable card from the Dietsche Postcards issue one of the earliest cards of the Hall of Fame outfielder issued in conjunction with the Detroit Tigers' appearance in the 1907 Series. The Dietsche issue included two poses of Cobb - one pictured him fielding (which it is theorized was issued only in 1907) and this one picturing him batting (which was issued in both 1907 and 1908). This particular example was issued in 1908 as indicated on the copyright date printed on the card reverse. There are two variations of this card one with Cobb's name printed in the foreground inside his shadow the other outside the shadow. In this case the name appears outside. Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA the card boasts strong eye appeal with some of the light surface wear common to the issue (a result of the dark background of the card). Corner and edge wear is pronounced consistent with what is often seen with these cards. The population reports of PSA are conusing with respect to this card but the condition sensitivity of the cards is such that PSA has only graded about a dozen higher than this. A truly exceptional card one of Ty Cobb's earliest individual cards well-preserved and boasting outstanding eye appeal.
