Description

“The World’s Greatest Ball Player”

Fantastic circa 1910 souvenir photo presentation featuring two affixed 3.5 x 5.75 magazine-type portraits of Cobb in a cardstock folder, measuring 12.25 x 9.25 open, signed vertically across the center fold in fountain pen, “Very Truly, Ty Cobb.” In very good condition, with paper loss to lower corners and a chip to the bottom edge of one photo, the center fold separated but expertly repaired on the reverse, and the fold passing through Cobb’s sentiment but not the signature itself. Accompanied by the cover which was originally housed in a presentation folder with the title “Souvenir Photos of Ty Cobb, The World’s Greatest Ball Player.” Very few of these signed presentations are known, and Cobb’s youthful image makes this an especially appealing piece. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA.
