1924 Photograph of Ty Cobb from the Detroit Tigers, posed in uniform, as it was announced this would be his final season in baseball. He would change his mind and player for a few additional years, but this photo was playing off his greatness and focusing on small aspects of his game. Extensive artwork has been added to the front, making this a unique piece of baseball history, that presents him as a right handed thrower and a left handed hitter. Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back with a paper caption as well. Offered here for the first time ever, fresh out of a newspaper archive.
