Ty Cobb 1905 Reach Montage

Gents,

I recently picked this up and thought it was pretty cool. Its actually a 1905 Detroit Tigers Montage that was cut out of a 1906 Reach Guide. The montage has an extremely young cobb portrait (I believe he was sent back down in 1906). The photo measures 3.75" wide by 5.35" high and displays pretty well


I picked it up for a couple of bucks, so what the heck! but I wanted to see if these things hold any value???

THanks,
David

My guess is it is worth approximately what you paid for it. (maybe just a bit more as it is an exact replica of the card and premium it is associated with, which are both worth considerable money)

David:

I have handled a bunch of those types of items over the past couple of years. Not super valuable but Cobb's earliest piece, it could bring $50, maybe a little more or a little less if you find the right collector. I have seen the 1914 Ruths sell for around $100 on occasion.

Thanks for the feedback guys... I thought it was cool, and worth every bit of the $8 I paid for it... It looks a lot better framed & Matted & will make a good conversation piece.

I did the same thing, David. Here's 1904 (w/ Chesbro, Griffith & Keeler) as well as 1905 (Chesbro, Griffith, Keeler and a rookie Chase) Yankee squads (sorry for the crappy pix). For $5 for the pair, they look great framed/matted and hanging on my wall.

Very Cool indeed, and for the price you can't go wrong!!!
