Description: This extremely clean card is one of the best we've seen especially at this grade and is from a major collection.Excellent eye appeal with good corner shape and sharp colors and back text. Very nice indeed. In our opinion, far under graded compared to others we've seen. Look at the pictures provided.SGC Authentic Grade / already PSA Authenticated A boxer named Sammy Kolb began to use the name Ty Cobb, capitalizing on the popularity of the professional baseball player Ty Cobb. Kolb had a career from 1909 until 1922 and in his final year of boxing he would fight a boxer billed as Babe Ruth on a cold winter night in Philadelphia. Kolb/Cobb would win the fight in a six-round decision. When the Khedivial/Surbrug Series 102 cards were produced Kolb’s real name was not used and instead Ty Cobb was printed on his card. This changed what would have been a basic vintage boxing tobacco card from the set into a highly unique and desirable collectible piece of rare Ephemera. After more than 100 years this simple piece of ink printed cardboard is a true work of art and a copy resides in the Ephemera collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a part of The Jefferson R. Burdick Collection.
