1909-11 T206 Piedmont 150 Ty Cobb Bat On Shoulder PSA EX+ 5.5

T206 Piedmont 150 Ty Cobb Bat on Shoulder PSA 5.5 – Bold Color, Balanced Mid-Grade of a Cobb Classic

This is one of the most enduring images in the T206 set—Ty Cobb with Bat on Shoulder, staring confidently into the distance, as if daring pitchers to challenge him. Among Cobb’s four T206 variations, this pose captures the Georgia Peach in a moment of regal poise, rather than his more common snarling intensity. The Piedmont 150 back places this card among the earliest issues of the series, adding an extra layer of significance for hobby purists.

Graded PSA 5.5, this example boasts outstanding eye appeal for the grade. Cobb’s portrait is richly colored, the background is clean and even, and the registration is sharp, giving the card a bold, striking presence. The centering is PSA 8-like, and corners show just light, even wear. The reverse features a clearly printed Piedmont 150 ad, crisp and fully legible—further enhancing the early-production charm of this issue.

Mid-grade Cobb cards with this level of presentation are getting harder to find, especially from the more limited 150-series print group. A cornerstone card with crossover appeal—whether you're building a T206 Cobb set, assembling a Hall of Fame gallery, or simply chasing one of the hobby’s most important figures in iconic form.
