Ty Cobb revisited

[TimCarrollArt]

Just finished this Cobb piece a couple of days ago. I used some 2010-2013 A&G commons & some 1982 Topps to make this one. 16.5" x 29".

Orlando, great collection of Cobb's and in only 1 year ? Wow, that is amazing.

Being a Cobb collector myself, I have often wondered why, forgetting for a moment it is Tyrus, the D304 Brunners of Cobb is so coveted by collectors. I don't find it a particularly attractive card, a bit cartoonish like a w strip card. Is it the rarity, condition, set etc.? The price it fetches at auction is astonishing.

I disagree Most Cobb images to me are fantastic, and the less-used the image on multiple cards the better. The D304 set as a whole is cartoonish as it is and the Cobb image is one of the few closeups in the set. I don't like it as much as the T227 image but certainly more than the E101/102 etc. image which really appears like a cartoon to me.

All that blush really brings out his cheek bones.

I love the D304. Was the first PreWar card I ever bought, simply because I found the image so appealing. To each his own. For example, on the whole I don't care for black-and-white postcards/oversized cards, yet I can still see why others do.

Thanks mike. I have since sold both CJ's and added these 3. All of which I have posted on other threads.
