Thought this was a great item, a 1953 letter written by Ty Cobb to a young Eddie Mathews. In the letter, Cobb praises Mathews' talents and wishes him well, and carefully warns Eddie of the potential pitfalls he could face.

Very thoughtful and kind of Cobb, once again showing a side that most people were/are unaware

Great Cobb items! We (over on the autograph side) had a spirited debated a few years ago about Cobb. For me, the stories about him both on and off the field (mostly negative) did not match with many of the letters he wrote to friends and fans over the years...they were mostly very nice and cordial. Add to that the players he helped financially over the years and it really doesn't add up. Was he perfect, no. He probably had as many if not more flaws than most people, but I really don't think he was any worse during that era than say, Babe Ruth.

Default Cobb

I finally grabbed my first Cobb this year and might look to grab a nice T206 if one presents itself at the Natty.

Just finished this Cobb piece a couple of days ago. I used some 2010-2013 A&G commons & some 1982 Topps to make this one. 16.5" x 29".
