Gain an absolutely essential Hall of Famer autograph with this Ty Cobb cut signature. Dated "Muskogee, April 8, 1918" by the original owner, this ancient cut is elegantly signed as "Tyrus R. Cobb". A rare full name example, this superb black ink, steel-tip fountain pen signature registers a ("7") degree of strength, on a 2-3/4 x 4-1/2" section of linen paper, affixed to a cardboard backer. Cobb (d.1961) won his 11th of 12 batting crowns with a .382 average in 1918, while also crushing the on-base percentage statistic, with a .440 mark. The notations written by the original collector read "The greatest ball player in the world was good enough to autograph a few of my business cards.". Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $750.
