The challenge with these is that there are many fakes or repros. I've literally seen hundreds for sale over the years, and presumably most are fake. Search ebay now for Ty Cobb Bank and you will find 4 listings. I am not familiar enough with them to tell what is the real thing, but there have been threads on this before in N54 if you search.
I remember years ago the MOMA in NYC had an exhibit on vintage Americana, including baseball folk art items, and they sold this bank repro in the gift shop.
