August Pick Up Thread

Will be in my hands shortly, but this well loved beauty finishes off my T206 HOF Portrait run! It’s been ultimately an 8 year journey to completion (with a 3 year break in there). Thank you to Chuck, and all the board members over the years who helped make this possible. Now time to do slow upgrades and think about the next journey!

Super excited to add this amazing piece to my collection. A Cobb owned, one of a kind Type 1 photo. The best part about this, is the history and friendship between Cobb and the Brown family that culminated in one of many gestures of kindness by Cobb; the $100,000 donation that founded the Ty Cobb Memorial Hospital. After Cobbs death, the Ty Cobb Healthcare system would continue to grow, servicing the greater upstate Georgia area.

"Original Type I photograph of Ty Cobb, circa 1910. The formal studio photograph captures a nattily attired Cobb seated in a chair as he gazes directly into the camera. Together with its original photographic folder, which bears the name of the photography studio ("Champlain Studios/Boston New York Philadelphia") printed on the exterior. Accompanied by a one-page typed letter of provenance signed by Barbara Brown Whitney. According to Whitney, her grandfather Stewart Dixon Brown was a childhood friend of Ty Cobb and Cobb later became good friends with her father. Cobb presented the photograph as a gift to her father and she inherited it upon her father's death. The photo (6.75x9") displays a few light creases that do not detract from its overall Excellent appearance. PSA encapsulated as Type I Authentic."
