Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. One of four examples of this front/back combination graded at this level by PSA with just one higher. Outstanding Ty Cobb (portrait, red background) card from the legendary T206 White Border set with a desirable Tolstoi advertising reverse. Cobb's red-background portrait pose has long been considered one of the classics of the T206 set and of all vintage cards. The fact that this example has an uncommon Tolstoi advertising reverse makes this it of particularly special note. T206Resource.com ranks Tolstoi as the eighteenth most difficult back to acquire out of thirty-nine total backs available within the T206 White Border set. The offered example has a bold red background, outstanding registration, and honest corner wear. The important advertising reverse is boldly printed. Opening Bid $10.
