Graded NM/MT 8 by SGC. One of only five graded at this level with just one (Old Mill back) grading higher! Stunning ultra-high-grade example of what is recognized as one of Ty Cobb's most striking cards.

This card boasts vibrant colors, outstanding registration, and four strong corners. Boldly printed Sweet Caporal 350/30 advertising reverse. Any high-grade T206 card is an important condition rarity, but a NM/MT example of one of the key cards from the premier tobacco issue of the 1910 era is especially noteworthy and desirable. This T206 Cobb red-background portrait would make a significant addition or upgrade to virtually any world-class T206, vintage Hall of Famer, or Ty Cobb card collection. Opening Bid $50,000.
