A gorgeous, authentic, original T206 tobacco card featuring Hall-of-Famer Ty Cobb, bat off shoulder variation. THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADED TY COBB T206 CARD EVER GRADED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY AUTHENTICATION SERVICE!!!!  Very nicely centered with sharp corners, clean white borders, and deep coloration. A similar T206 card, of Hall of Fame pitcher Addie Joss, graded PSA 8, just sold in the Mile High Sports Card Auction (Oct. 1, 2008) for $6,748! SMR book value for this card was $4,000! This card has an SMR book value of $60,000 in MINT 9 condition, but, as you can see, this is a MINT-PLUS 9.5!!!!! With the 100-year anniversary of these cards coming in 2009, these high-end, graded, Hall of Fame player cards are selling for premiums! Obviously, I cannot guarantee this card will be able to cross over to a PSA, Beckett or SGC holder. I have not tried because I've heard it just doesn't happen. I'm offering this as an inexpensive alternative to acquiring a PSA 9 Cobb that would cost you $60,000 to $90,000 -- if you could even find one. SMR does not even list a value of this card in 9.5 or 10 grade condition, but if it would, the price would be well in excess of $100,000, and most likely $250,000 or more because extreme high-end tobacco cards always bring 3 to 10 times what the SMR 9 values are listed as. I am an eBay Powerseller and I'm including free shipping and insurance on this card. It will be shipped to the winner via USPS Registered Mail immediately after Paypal payment is received.
