1928 Large photograph of three members of the 3000 hit club (which only had six total members at the time) who were all now members of another club, the Philadelphia Athletics! The photo includes three of the most famous ballplayers of their era dn is highlighted by a fantastic image of Ty Cobb holding a bat in uniform with a great look at the taped handle, just how he liked it! The photo also includes Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins as well, each with bats. Photo has some creasing and editorial work from years of being used in a functioning news-room, but it presents well with exceptional clarity. There are some faint remnants of the original International News stamp on the back beneath some additional paper that was added for editorial use which helps authenticate this as a completely original "vintage 1" example.
