What says "T206 baseball" like this serious-minded Cobb, staring down a pitcher from 60 feet away, with his implement of battle ready in hand? Regardless of technical grade, a central image like this one encapsulates so much of what the deadball era brought to our sport's history, from scrappy play to striking uniforms.

The PSA AUTH grade follows from spots of paper loss on the back where Cobb was once pasted into an album for safekeeping. A second set of white dots implies that perhaps he was moved to a second album, before being rescued and reentering our hobby for grading. Its front centering and print quality each impress the eyes, with light residue at upper left detracting little from its overall impact. Its population report shows that Polar Bear backs make up 10% of all cards graded with this Cobb pose, narrowing your chances at this front/back combo considerably. This listing offers someone a great chance to get a legend at a more accessible price!
