1910 E93 Standard Caramel Ty Cobb PSA PR 1

1910 E93 Standard Caramel Ty Cobb PSA 1 - A Rare and Early Caramel-Era Portrait of the Georgia Peach

The name Ty Cobb evokes the raw, uncompromising spirit of early baseball. By 1910, Cobb was already establishing himself as a dominant force in the American League, capturing batting titles with ease and redefining the aggressive, gritty style of play that became his trademark. That same year, the E93 Standard Caramel set emerged as one of the most striking early candy issues, issued by the Standard Caramel Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Among the 30 subjects featured, Cobb’s card reigns supreme—not only as the key to the set, but as one of the premier caramel-era depictions of the Hall of Famer. The card presents Cobb in a crisp batting stance against a vibrant red background, a composition that radiates intensity and focus. The artwork—distinct from his tobacco card portraits—offers a uniquely dynamic glimpse into his playing form, making it one of the more captivating visual tributes of his early career.

Despite the modest PSA 1 grade, this example retains excellent color and full image clarity, attributes that often carry more importance to vintage collectors than technical flaws. The card’s surface tells a story—one of a century’s worth of history, admiration, and endurance. E93s are notoriously scarce, and early Cobb caramel issues in any grade are increasingly difficult to find.
