Lot # 414: 1911 T3 Turkey Red #9 Ty Cobb PSA GOOD 2

Graded GOOD 2 by PSA (submitted by REA). Presented is one of vintage-card collecting's most recognizable icons and the key card of the 1911 Turkey Red Tobacco cabinet-card series: #9 Ty Cobb. Besides being the most valuable card in the set, it is also one of the most desirable and striking of all Ty Cobb cards. This example is bright and crisp with brilliant colors and outstanding registration. The flaws include honest corner wear, a couple light creases on the top border, and faint paper remnants visible in the border areas. The checklist back (with offer) has evidence of album removal. The classic Turkey Red set is considered by many to be the most beautiful and well-made tobacco set ever issued. The T3 Ty Cobb has always and will always be in high demand, especially a modestly graded example which presents with strong eye appeal.
