The advertising poster that REA sold for this set has totally different boxers listed, and no Cobb.

Posted By: <b>jay wolt</b><p>There is a Ty Cobb boxer in the set<br />as the set was issued in 2 series of 25 cards each.<br />The REA poster shows the other series.<br />I'm sure Adam can elaborate more then I about this set.<br />Not sure what the seller is talking about it being a $3K card<br /><br />Edited for spelling.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Thanks, guys. I have a few of these, but not a Cobb.<br /><br /><br />With all the slip tampering and psa mislabeling I just didn't know about this one.<br /><br />Glad it is legit. I thought the seller to be a genuine guy.<br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>S Gross</b><p>T225-2, tough series, and my screen saver:<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/Boxing/T225-2%20Khedivial%20102/t2252Cobb.jpg"><br /><br />love the colors...........<br /><br />From Boxrec.com (unbelievable site):<br /><br />boxer: Ty Cobb <br />division featherweight <br />nationality United States <br />alias Young Ty Cobb <br />residence Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States <br />birth name Samuel Kolb <br />won 52 (KO 4) + lost 30 (KO 3) + drawn 21 <br />Cobb was another of the many Jewish fighters who came out of Philadelphia in the first half of the 20th century. <br /><br />... and, yes the Young Fitz fight is cool, but what about this one:<br /><br />1922-02-07 -- Babe Ruth -- 6 Rounds<br />Ice Palace, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States <br />Newspaper decision from the Philadelphia Public Ledger.<br /><br /><br />I don't think the headline "Cobb beats Ruth in 6" made many papers !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My excel sheet tells me I bought mine for ~$75; which is right --- $99 opening bid should be a stretch ~~~~~~~~~ ?? ~~~~~~~~ but it is a pop 1 ! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>boxingcardman</b><p>A tough series of T225 and a tribute name. The name and the Jewish ancestry of the figher are why the card has more popularity than any other common from the set. Since it is a tougher set, if a collector happens to need it they will pay over "book" for it, but $3,000 is fantasy land. <br /><br />Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc
