1909-1911 T206 White Border Ty Cobb Bat Off Shoulder PSA FAIR 1.5 - Rare Uzit Back

Sold For: $54,000
Year: 1909
Auction: 2024 May
Lot #: 1
Auction: Prewar Baseball - T Tobacco Cards
Graded FAIR 1.5 by PSA. Bat-off-shoulder pose of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb with an extremely rare Uzit back. This is a very attractive image of Cobb with bold colors. Despite its modest assigned grade, it presents very nicely, with even wear to the corners and light creasing present but not distracting in any way. The bat-off-shoulder pose is the only T206 Cobb pose that was produced with advertising for Uzit cigarettes on the back. All T206 cards with Uzit backs are highly desirable, especially Hall of Famers. The Uzit Cobb is universally recognized as one of the best front and rare-back combinations that can possibly exist in the entire T206 set. Very few examples are known. The T206 set is unique in that it offers so many dimensions of interest and intrigue to collectors, and is a fascinating field of collecting and study unto itself. It is the single most popular vintage-card issue among collectors, and interest in rare backs is especially popular among collectors today. Interest in the T206 set is never going out of style, and one of the "dream cards" that is recognized by all is the T206 Ty Cobb with Uzit back. This is an incredible rarity featuring Hall of Famer Ty Cobb from the classic T206 set, which would be an extremely significant highlight in even the most advanced T206, rare-back, or Ty Cobb collection. Opening Bid $10.
