1923 Detailed portrait photograph of Ty Cobb who was still seen as the best pure hitter in baseball at the time, but is listed on the back as possibly retiring after the season. The photograph has been mounted to thicker board by an artist at a newspaper but luckily they removed the paper caption and placed it on the back! Despite some pinholes, it presents well and is being offered here for the first time ever fresh out of a newspaper archive.
