10" x 13 3/8" advertising broadside printed on heavy stock, advertising an article by which Ty Cobb (billed as "Baseball's Bad Boy") Rights the Record in the June 14, 1958 Saturday Evening Post. The article, A Visit with Ty Cobb, was written by Furman Bisher.  An interesting read (see it at https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/reprints/a-visit-with-ty-cobb/), Cobb positions himself as an emotional philanthropist who can be brought to tears in a touching moment, a kind man whose reputation was unfounded.

The broadside is printed in green, and remains in EX condition, with light areas of wear here and there.
