Pocket-sized schedule for the Detroit Tigers' 1931 season, produced by photography studio MacGregor and Company of Detroit.  The same studio takes credit for the 1926 image of Ty Cobb that graces the cover, the outfielder's final appearance in a Tigers uniform.  By 1931 the Tigers had declined to the point where they finished the season 7th in the American League; the turnaround would that would result in their 1934 World Series appearance not to begin for another year.  In FAIR condition due to a heavy crease across the surface along with edge and spine wear, still, a seldom-seen Cobb-related piece depicting the great player toward the end of his career.
