1909 Dietsche Cobb & Rastus postcard
 

One of the toughest Dietsche cards, shows Ty Cobb sitting next to Rastus.

Rastus was the team good luck charm that Cobb treated so much better than his fellow teammates. More about their relationship can be found in the outstanding book 'A Terrible Beauty' which pretty much debunks all the crazy (and false) stories that portray Cobb as a racist. An important card.

SOLD

Really tough card, and even tougher in such great condition. Is it postally used? I can't see anything else that would merit a 2 for this one. Great, clear image.

Not used but a tiny bit of paper loss on back and corner evidence of being stored in an album. Not as nice as yours Jeff!
