Rich and colorful example of one of Cobb's most rare issues his T216 with a Kotton Tobacco reverse. Issued over the course of five years the T216 issue included two different poses of Cobb with several variations each very scarce. To wit SGC lists seven Kotton Cobbs of this variation in their population report (and ten more where the variation is not noted) but does not identify how many feature the Kotton Tobacco reverse and how many feature the Kotton Cigarettes ad. PSA has graded 5 T216 Cobb "Detroit Americans" poses but does not notate which back variety. This card is very scarce. We can only find six transactions of T216 Kotton Cobbs with this pose dating back to 2006 and none since 2013. The card itself despite the "FAIR" grade is quite attractive. Corner and edge wear is typical for the grade and there are a series of horizontal creases that traverse the card but very few break the surface of the ink and none interfere with the image of Cobb. The reverse though slightly soiled is clean representing the Factory 11 "Kotton Tobacco" back variety. An outstanding example of a very very scarce card.
