Lot #14: 1912 E300 Plow's Candy Ty Cobb – PSA VG-EX 4

Description

Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA. Hall of Famer. This collectible stands among a scant total population of just eight copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. Completely new to the attention of the organized hobby, this superlative piece has been securely housed in a single, private collection for more than two decades. The fabulous illustration that graces this card reveals the legendary Ty Cobb in an aggressive batting pose. Few souls beheld this masterfully provocative photo at the time it was released by Plow's; only the modern medium of a high-end auction catalog allows widespread appreciation of this exceedingly rare piece, today. This rare commemorative is a superb jewel from the past; the relic's modest grade is derived from purely technical, non-aesthetic criteria. Touches of corner wear can be seen primarily from the reverse, and that generally clean, unprinted aspect concedes just two small, extremely faint traces of discoloration. The card's illustration is impeccable. Here's a special opportunity to add a key subject – within a painfully elusive type – to an advanced collection. Visually satisfying at every dimension, the lovely remembrance, here offered, irresistibly beckons the viewer. Very Good to Excellent condition, with an obverse presentation that meets an EX/MT to NM standard.
