Graded VG 3 by SGC. Solid mid-grade example of what is recognized as one of Ty Cobb's iconic cards.

The offered example has a bright red background, crisp image, light corner wear (weaker top left), and centering toward the right. Boldly printed Piedmont 350 reverse. Please note the top edge is diamond cut. This is an appealing example of one of Cobb's most famous and classic cards from the premier tobacco issue of the 1910 era. Reserve $10.
