UFO coming from poor Ty Cobb's arm on E98 green....

I’ll say extra sharpened spike in case there’s a mostly peaceful altercation surrounding a call on the base path.

It's a bird. It's a little known fact that Cobb killed a bird during a game decades before Randy Johnson.

Couldn't get enough of 'em.

If you look really, really close at the object under a magnifying loupe, it's a tag on his shirt that a team-mate has cheekily penned in the words "Billy Ripken".

All kidding aside, it is very clear and looks more than a printing blemish. It does resemble a tag or something. what is strange is that no other E98 Cobb's (all colors) have this on them. I found one other Green that had what looked like a blemish in that area but that is the closest I found.

Pretty cool either way you look at it!

Peace, Mike

Not typically used to describe printing errors on baseball cards but I know there are enough T206 experts on here.

Without using any puns or jokes (trust me the best have already been used in this thread), can this be considered an "artefact"?

Meaning: "anomalies apparent during visual representation as in digital graphics and other forms of imagery, especially photography and microscopy"

Curious on thoughts here since this is so clear but only found on 1 card that I can tell so far?

Thanks! Mike
