Graded EX 5 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Scarcer "Honest Long Cut" back. Among a total of nearly 650 examples recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just three dozen copies (less than six percent of the total population) have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. To the eye of an enthusiast who appreciates the ultimate in clarity, the Cobb portrait delivered in this offered T205 is unsurpassed – precisely as the issue’s designers intended. The depiction's color is robust and uniform, and the piercing eyes of the subject would still strike fear in a pitcher of the current century. This is a very fresh collectible, exhibiting only minimal corner faults (seen most significantly at the bottom left) and boasting a clean, boldly inked and fully legible reverse. Excellent condition, and distinguished by luminous display quality.
