I wonder what a Cobb letter signed only "Ty" would sell for?

It is not necessarily a question of price but a question of ease of selling. Ty Cobb letters with his full signature are not rare. Collectors in the market for a Ty Cobb letter can easily obtain one with a full signature.
I have not owned one for some time but I would guestimate the "Ty" signed letter to be selling for $1000-1300.
