A dazzling, crystal clear image of Detroit Tiger Hall of Fame great Ty Cobb in his prime emanates from this coveted green portrait card from the landmark T206 tobacco issue. Issued two years before Cobb had begun his incredible feat of 12 American League Batting Titles in 13 seasons, the card’s superior color immediately commands your attention. Almost dead centered EX PSA 5 example possesses snow-white borders and clean surfaces. The Sweet Caporal 150 back is boldly printed in red and well centered. All corners are very square in appearance and worthy of EX-MT consideration . Overall, this card still retains a remarkably fresh appearance that belies its hundred years of age. Cobb’s “green portrait” is among the most coveted pieces from the landmark T206 issue, and collectors will be hard-pressed to find a more visually appealing example than this one here.
