Default Stunning Ty Cobb owned, Type 1 portrait photo

Super excited to add this amazing piece to my collection. A Cobb owned, one of a kind Type 1 photo. The best part about this, is the history and friendship between Cobb and the Brown family that culminated in one of many gestures of kindness by Cobb; the $100,000 donation that founded the Ty Cobb Memorial Hospital. After Cobbs death, the Ty Cobb Healthcare system would continue to grow, servicing the greater upstate Georgia area.

"Original Type I photograph of Ty Cobb, circa 1910. The formal studio photograph captures a nattily attired Cobb seated in a chair as he gazes directly into the camera. Together with its original photographic folder, which bears the name of the photography studio ("Champlain Studios/Boston New York Philadelphia") printed on the exterior. Accompanied by a one-page typed letter of provenance signed by Barbara Brown Whitney. According to Whitney, her grandfather Stewart Dixon Brown was a childhood friend of Ty Cobb and Cobb later became good friends with her father. Cobb presented the photograph as a gift to her father and she inherited it upon her father's death. The photo (6.75x9") displays a few light creases that do not detract from its overall Excellent appearance. PSA encapsulated as Type I Authentic."

Congratulations, Brian! What a truly magnificent portrait of Mr. Cobb! Coupled with its amazing provenance, this photograph must now be one of your centerpieces. I am so happy for you, bro. I really cherish a portrait where the subject is looking directly into the camera, wherefore Tyrus Raymond is looking and smiling directly into the eyes of one of his best fans today---you. I just know you're on "a collector cloud 9" and will be for a long time. --- Brian Powell

Thanks Brian! Yes, most definitely on cloud 9. For me personally, I haven't anything much more beautiful than this Cobb related (card or otherwise). I have been leaning heavier towards Cobb in my PC (and searching) of late and this has nearly turned me into Cobb collector through and through. I have spent the last 3 years going from buying everything I could find, to really consolidating my collection into quality, not quantity of the iconic cards and names. This pickup of Cobb has really turned my focus lately toward him. Thanks again,

What's going on with the back of the picture? Is that glue residue or just the way that the holder makes the back appear (all squirrelly like that)?

It's a Rorschach test.

It is just the PSA slab. I have seen that with cards too.
