T206 Sweet Caporal 150/30 Ty Cobb Bat on Shoulder PSA 2.5 - A Well-Centered Georgia Peach from Baseball’s Most Storied Set

Few names in the history of the sport evoke the raw competitive fire and mystique of Ty Cobb. The “Georgia Peach” wasn’t just a prolific hitter—he was the embodiment of early 20th-century baseball: relentless, gritty, and unforgettable. With 4,189 career hits, a .366 lifetime batting average, and a ferocious playing style, Cobb left an indelible mark on the game—and nowhere is his legacy more vividly captured than in the T206 series.

The “Bat on Shoulder” portrait is one of Cobb’s four iconic appearances in the famed T206 White Border set. Issued between 1909 and 1911, this particular version comes with a Sweet Caporal 150 Subjects Factory 30 back, one of the earliest printings in the tobacco-era timeline. The image showcases Cobb in a relaxed but commanding pose—bat resting on his shoulder, gaze steely and determined, wearing the Detroit uniform with unmistakable swagger.

Graded PSA 2.5, this example boasts solid centering and bold visual appeal, despite expected wear for a card over 110 years old. The surface retains strong eye appeal, and the image clarity of Cobb remains striking even in a mid-grade example. Cards like this carry a timeless aura—bridging baseball’s rough-edged past with today’s modern collecting world.
