T225-2, tough series, and my screen saver:




love the colors...........

From Boxrec.com (unbelievable site):

boxer: Ty Cobb
division featherweight
nationality United States
alias Young Ty Cobb
residence Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
birth name Samuel Kolb
won 52 (KO 4) + lost 30 (KO 3) + drawn 21
Cobb was another of the many Jewish fighters who came out of Philadelphia in the first half of the 20th century.

... and, yes the Young Fitz fight is cool, but what about this one:

1922-02-07 -- Babe Ruth -- 6 Rounds
Ice Palace, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Newspaper decision from the Philadelphia Public Ledger.


I don't think the headline "Cobb beats Ruth in 6" made many papers !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!






My excel sheet tells me I bought mine for ~$75; which is right --- $99 opening bid should be a stretch ~~~~~~~~~ ?? ~~~~~~~~ but it is a pop 1 !
