How many World Series did Ty Cobb win?

I believe the answer is zero. Cobb's occasionally deplorable behavior is also one of the reasons I left him off my list. I realize many collectors couldn't care less about either of those things. Villains have a certain appeal to some people. From a purely monetary point of view, it probably makes sense to pick up his cards. Still, my original list of seven will likely perform quite well...and I'd be thrilled with any of those.

Prewar: I would probably go with the nicest condition I could find of the generals...Johnson, Cobb, Ruth, Matty

Vintage 1951 B Mantle Rookie and a Leaf Jackie

Modern: it's hard not of love Juan Soto. He was the 6th youngest player on a major league roster this year. He also has 99 HRs, 486 hits, 375 walks and 338 runs scored already.

Long shot...pick up a few very high grade 1978 Glenn Burke cards.
