Ty Cobb Autographed Baseball

Ty Cobb is remembered as much for his intimidating demeanor as his legendary batting accomplishments. In 1936, despite an enduring reputation as the meanest player in the game, Cobb became the leading vote-getter among the first group to be elected into the brand new Hall of Fame, beating even Ruth and Wagner. As much as Cobb enjoyed his reputation for being hard nosed, he remained an accommodating autograph signer. This OAL (Harridge) ball bears a superb example of his signature on a side panel in blue ink (9/10). Cobb has added the date “7/15/52”. The ball itself is in like-new condition, but under close scrutiny shows faint evidence of signature removal on an opposing panel. LOAs from PSA/DNA and JSA.
