Description

Very presentable example of Ty Cobb from the 1917 H801-8 Boston Store series. Like their E135 Collins-McCarthy counterparts, Boston Store cards are rarely offered in any condition. Unlike the somewhat similar Sporting News card set, these cards were never issued as complete sets to the public. They were also produced on a slightly thinner stock that is far more susceptible to wear, with a very glossy surface that is prone to creasing. Boston Store cards are usually encountered one card at a time and in low grade. The offered card displays a crisp image of Cobb and even corner wear. The important advertising reverse is boldly printed and exhibits a few spots of light soiling. Encapsulated as "Authentic" by SGC due to being trimmed along multiple edges. This is visually appealing example of this significant and rarely offered Ty Cobb card, dating from a time when very few card sets were issued.
