I have just seen Ty Cobb at ...........
 

This Recent pick up was shown in the pick up thread but not the back....I Thought members might enjoy seeing another rare glimpse of Cobb in a jovial mood...and the back is somewhat interesting as it is referring to Navin fields' inaugural season and this person seeing Cobb at the first game on the field...

He must have just finished beating someone with that bat!! :D

Awesome postcard! Even better with the note on the back.

Wow, being from Detroit, I really envy that pickup.

Hey Leon, I think that's the same image as the La Azora Cobb panel (bottom one), which I think you also own. :)

Thanks...the postmark looks to be on the 22nd of April, 1912 and the field had it's first game (the one mentioned) on the 20th....

I saw that postcard at the National, Leon. I almost grabbed it. Nice pickup.

Yikes, I guess we are collecting a bit of the same things sometimes, Gary. And I especially liked this postcard as it was the first time I had seen that pose outside of this schedule card...

Amazing piece with a great note on back. Thanks for sharing!

At least he wasn't at Trader Vic's drinking a piña colada...

I think I am showing my age when that was the first saw the post's title

Was his hair perfect?

Leon,

An amazing item! Let me know if you'd like to trade.....

Thanks Powell. And let it be known that I will always trade any card I own for one I want more!! :)
