For seasoned collectors, this iconic jumping pose of "The Georgia Peach" may already be familiar, at least from the waist up. It’s famously featured in the E98 "Anonymous Set of 98" series—a tobacco-card-sized release. But this 1913-15 Pinkerton Blank Back card offers something unique: a rare, full body shot of Ty Cobb in action, capturing every detail that was cropped in the smaller E98 card. Graded PSA 2, the card carries light surface stains and the expected softening at the edges, yet Cobb’s image remains remarkably sharp and resilient, untouched by the passage of time. Out of the mere six examples ever assessed by PSA, this card is one of only three to achieve the PSA 2 GOOD rating, with just a single card graded higher. For collectors seeking both rarity and history, this card is a treasured piece—a lasting tribute to Cobb’s dynamic prowess and the enduring allure of early baseball iconography.
