If you've been waiting for an exceptional mid-grade example of Ty Cobb's legendary T206 "red portrait" card to come along, you've come to the right place! Here is a profoundly sharp and clean example that presents better than is suggested by the harsh EX 5 assessment from the pre-war specialists at SGC. Near-perfect centering on the front with a shimmering NM/MT obverse is highlighted by a spectacular image of the blue-eyed wonder boy from Georgia against a near perfectly saturated wall of bold crimson ink. The corners are keen, technically accurate in grade if not a bit conservative but appear much better to the naked eye. This card could easily sit in a holder assessed a grade higher and it would not look out of place. A truly spectacular specimen ready to anchor an elite mid-grade collection.
