1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel Ty Cobb PSA NM 7

1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel Ty Cobb PSA 7 – A Perfectly Centered, Pop 4 Cobb

Few cards capture the raw, unfiltered dominance of Ty Cobb quite like his 1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel issue. Graded PSA 7, this is a truly elite specimen from one of the earliest and most historically significant candy card sets ever produced. With only 4 examples graded at this level and none higher, this Cobb stands at the absolute pinnacle of the E95 population—a museum-quality relic of baseball’s fiercest competitor.

Issued by the Philadelphia Caramel Company, the E95 set pre-dates many tobacco releases and was distributed in candy packs, making survival in top condition extremely rare. Cobb’s portrait—rendered with blazing red background, piercing gaze, and rich detail—is one of the most visually striking of any card from the Dead Ball Era. It’s also one of the earliest solo Cobb cards ever issued, placing it high on the list for collectors of both Hall of Fame legends and pre-war rarities.

This PSA 7 example features bold coloration, crisp registration, and strong corners, with clean surfaces that showcase its near-mint preservation. The reverse remains sharp and fully legible, featuring the checklist of all 25 players in the set—including legends like Wagner, Mathewson, and Plank.

A candy card grail of baseball’s most fiery icon, this Cobb is not just rare—it’s one of the finest known, offering true blue-chip quality for the collector who demands the best of the best.
