A Ty Cobb full size type one with full borders dated to 1907 by Cahrles Conlon? Yes please!
Was not photographed or even mentioned in the write up.

That's an interesting "Cobb" image. In my experience, the Spalding stamp usually means that the print was made in the 1920s. The image itself is the last photo pictured in the McCabe's classic "Baseball's Golden Age", showing Conlon's prints from original negatives. The photo is identified as a 1910 shot of Hack Simmons.
