T206 Sweet Caporal 350/30 Ty Cobb Portrait – Green PSA 4 - One of the Hobby’s Most Iconic Images

When it comes to pre-war baseball cards, Ty Cobb’s green portrait stands as one of the most iconic and desirable issues of all time. Known for his fiery personality and unrivaled dominance on the field, “The Georgia Peach” terrorized pitchers with a career .366 batting average and unmatched intensity. He was already a legend when this card was printed between 1909–1911, and the green portrait version captures his piercing stare and intimidating presence like no other.

This particular example features the Sweet Caporal 350 Subjects, Factory 30 back and is graded PSA 4, offering collectors a rare combination of respectable condition and affordability for such a prestigious card. The vivid emerald green background remains bold and consistent, beautifully contrasting Cobb’s stoic expression and sharp uniform details. The corners and edges show moderate wear, as expected for a century-old card, but the overall presentation is strong and evenly framed—a testament to the visual power of the card.

Among the four Ty Cobb variations in the T206 set, the green background issue has emerged as one of the most sought-after, especially in solid mid-grade condition.
