Great Cobb items! We (over on the autograph side) had a spirited debated a few years ago about Cobb. For me, the stories about him both on and off the field (mostly negative) did not match with many of the letters he wrote to friends and fans over the years...they were mostly very nice and cordial. Add to that the players he helped financially over the years and it really doesn't add up. Was he perfect, no. He probably had as many if not more flaws than most people, but I really don't think he was any worse during that era than say, Babe Ruth.
