Default SOLD: E-UNC Ty Cobb

Up for sale/trade is a seldomly seen 1910 era E-UNC Cobb. The card resembles an E95 but shows several interesting design variations. Instead of the usual player/team name caption on the bottom, the "Cobb" and "Detroit" is shown in vintage scrawl at the top. Almost N162 like! I've seen one example like this one before, but it has a partial advertisement on the back and resides in a GAI holder (scan of this card is below).

This card is of t-card size and thickness, and measures about 1-3/8" x 2-9/16". The back is blank. The card would grade about "GD" with excellent eye appeal. It is believed that it was once part of a 1910 era Philadephia Caramel box or advertising piece candy box card. I have never sent it in for grading, but I'd imagine it would at least get an SGC A. Extremely scarce and desirable Ty Cobb type card!

Price is SOLD!!!!

Payment by check or MO.

If interested please email me at: crazylocomerk@yahoo.com

For trades, I'm looking for HOFers (especially Wagner/Cobb/Matty/Johnson/Young), or any scarce 19th Century/Tobacco/Caramel/Bakery cards.



Size and thickness of this E-UNC Cobb is comparable to a T-207:


The other known example (with advertising back):
