Ty Cobb-phenomenal player & cards
 

With Honus Wagner playing days cards in the stratosphere and Joe Jackson’s not far behind and significantly more scarce (Wagner with 3,576+ total graded* cards to Jackson’s 1,484+ total graded*), time to feature an equally phenomenal player yet slightly more attainable and affordable: Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach.

According to PSA POP Reports, there are over 225 playing days sets or variations therein, graced by Ty Cobb during his 24 year career from 1905 to 1928. In total there are over 10,700 PSA graded Cobb playing days cards. Of these, 2,457 (23%) are red portrait, 1,037 (9.5%) are green portrait, and 188 (2%) are other such as pastel and blue. Remaining are 7,028 (65.5%) PSA graded cards, such as T202 (stealing 3rd center panel pictured here).

Let’s share some favorites, rarities and more!

*Refer to grading co POP reports for most up-to-date and accurate data.

i DO love me some tyrus's.

Here's a fairly low pop one.

Pick up in memory lane

Consigned to auction, but technically still mine for now, and forever awesome.

Thankfully I bought this before prices got too elevated on his T206 green background cards (even in this type of condition).

Brian

None of these are mine, but they are certainly "phenomenal".

One of nine known........

These are all 1/1 or 1/2.

Jeff,
Always love to see that DFP Cobb postcard.

I love that Collins-McCarthy!

Jeff, I love the J=k Cobb, big fan of that set! Kevin, Cobbzilla is my favorite Cobb PC! Great cards everyone. My favorite card in the hobby is e92 Nadja Cobb. I’m grateful to own 1 of the 3 known.

My last E103 pick up…

Awesome cards everybody!!...Jerry

I've heard of only 1 other of this Cobb owned Type 1.

I am happy to own one Cobb

Wow, that’s a tremendous 1, buy the card not the grade.

Snapshot of Ty @ the 1932 Olympics. Certainly not the most glamorous shot of all time..
(Thanks for this one Scott)

Aaron - we have very similar tastes. When I was working on the different E92 sets, my "White Whale" was the Nadja of Cobb. I never had one, never saw one and actually doubted its existence until yours and the couple of others surfaced. What a great card.

This is card is not mine, but belongs to a fellow collector. I have always liked the E286 Ju-Ju Drum cards. I imagine that there are less than 10 of this one out there.

Great thread. Here are a few toughies

Few toughies is a bit of an underrated statement Ryan, always love seeing the Ty Cobb back.

The beautiful T227! And an M113.

Thanks to all for affording my tired old eyeballs such a terrific display of Ty Cobb cards and stuff. Here's a few more for the mix.

Great stuff everyone!

I think the Dietsche fielding is probably my favorite card, but since that's been posted I will show this:

from my all time favorite set

A few portraits. Tough act to follow on some of those Cobbs posted above. Holy cow!

My modest addition to the beautiful cards and photos above:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...Unc%20Cobb.jpg

It is from a ca. 1925 strip set of 10 cards.

cobb has one of the best resume's of different cards i can think of?

some more of the "classics."

My 5:

Monsters Erick, love the D381.

One of his best looking cards, imo...

https://luckeycards.com/tyt205.jpg

I think one of the 1st Cards with stats and a write up, too. Totally enhances the card to have it document Cobb’s achievements, so it’s forever archived on the card and associates to Cobb. 100-200 years from now, his achievements will still be easily accessible and known and not lost to time.

NFS. Recent add. While others were going for garters, I was eyeing this 350-460/25 rarer beauty. Pop 3, only 5 higher.

I am thoroughly surprised Cobb's prices have lagged behind Wagner and Jackson, not that I own any Cobb's but still. The long perpetuated myths about him, are probably still doing his reputation some damage, I'm sure, but you would think the Man that held 90 records at one point, would be valued more highly in the hobby.

I can't wait to enjoy my Cobb salad for lunch today..............

Other than the recent surge in Wagner profile cards which mirror the T206 image, Cobb is way way way more expensive than Wagner cards in comparison. As for Ruth and Jackson, those are just iconic players to collect for different reasons.

Here is my best Cobb.

Some absolutely ridiculous cards in this thread!

Thanks Phil!

Here are my Cobb's. Well worn but still loved. Not sure I agree with the "A" on the Red, but I'm not selling anytime soon so at least it's protected.

Here is a Cobb that has not been posted

Picked this beauty up in memory lane last month

1920s Universal Toy Ty Cobb
 

It's rarer and it's Ty Cobb. Count me in.

Cobb
 

Brunswick--
I think you are going to have to put together a Cobb pop report, as you did for Jackson and Wagner (sorry!).

And we should probably archive these somewhere?

The Domino Disc PX7 not one of the popular issues of Cobb.

Thanks, absolutely! I started on Cobb to continue building the analysis of Wagner and Jackson. I got all through PSA POP Reports with nearly 230 different cards/variations (rows) totaling 10,710 graded cards (all entered manually in Excel). I then started on SGC POP Reports and got through nearly 500 total graded cards, but every 10 or so searches the site requires image verification continuously, so it got bogged down. I’ll continue chipping away on Cobb then post once complete. If there’s a place I can upload the Wagner and Jackson Excel Report, I’d be happy to!

Cobb
 

You are THE man, Brunswick--thanks!

Talk about eye candy. Fantastic cards everyone.

An E93 and a Bat On for the pile. The T206 Bat On was my first Cobb. hooked ever since.

I believe this is the most common Cobb 206 - But I’m proud of it 🙂

I don't have a lot of Cobb items but do have a few decent ones.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...637f0afdb9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7617cf652b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...51817df39f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e8ccaa0243.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...53ccc98507.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...23224d596d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...58a799650f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8c99391c35.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c3fc2b309.jpg

My only Cobb

Attachment 592392

Any Cobb is a good Cobb Rich.

Except these two (W515 and W512).


Brian (owners of examples of these two cards, please don't beat me over the head with an ugly stick. By the looks of these two cards, it appears that Ty has already taken a beating)

Just because he's an ugly puppy he still deserves love, although the one on the left is stalkeresque and creepy AF.

Great cards in this thread and I especially love the raw t205!

Thanks. Definitely a keeper when I sold most of a Sport Kings set.

Here are my Cobbs. Agreed he is still undervalued compared to others…

Some might call me a compulsive card flipper.

Where you at JC?

There have been some incredible items shown so far. Love those Piedmont Stamps shown earlier. I have a few Cobb stamps and a rookie to share:

I suppose the perfect time for my standard m113 / m114 post is after the stamps...

I believe the release dates to be :
m113
Aug 1909 - Photogravure Series No 1 (jumping)
Feb 1912 - Boston copyright (jumping)
Dec 1913 - NY copyright (batting)

m114
Nov 1941 - New York Conlon
mid 1950s - DC Thompson (still working on the exact date of release)
