Graded VG+ 3.5 by SGC. Hall of Famer. In a vexing state of affairs, rectified by the manufacturer a year later, card collecting enthusiasts were forced to actually sift through boxes of sticky treat to obtain Cracker Jack's captivating 1914 "Base Ball Players and Managers" cards. Offered here is a remarkably satisfying specimen of card #30 from that elusive 1914 set, portraying Detroit outfielder and period superstar Ty Cobb. This attractive, wafer-thin paper collectible was once forced into proximity with a perishable and blemish-inducing substance, bringing about generally faint vestiges of product staining on its surface. The card's incredible depth of red color is noteworthy, as is the sharply focused image of the determined Cobb in his classic, challenging pose. The card's corners are pleasing in appearance with balanced measures of natural wear. This is a very delicate and extremely challenging piece, presented at a pleasing level of preservation. Attractive Very Good-plus condition.
