Own a piece of Ty Cobb

[vansaad]

I have a signed check from Cobb to his mother, years after she killed Cobb's father. Perhaps a macabre Cobb collection could be in the works.

I guess this confirms Cobb fought "tooth & nail" for every base.

I Love to collect Rare and unique piece.

This is not for me.

Currently 2 people want it. Perhaps 1 wants to get the DNA to make a Cobb Clone

These have been sold a few times

A bitter irony, then, that he was referred to as Ty "Corn" Cobb, at least by some.

Exactly. Not the first time someone has bitten into this piece of memorabilia.

Very cool, what year is the check?

A while back Mile High Card Co. had Jim Bottomley's jock and cup and 2 people bid on it!

1932. The few others I've seen are during the same early 30's time period. Mrs. Cobb died in 1936, shortly after Cobb was elected to the HOF.
