1923 Head to toe photograph of baseball legend Ty Cobb as he demonstrates his famous hand split batting grip and stance in full uniform with the Tigers. From the archives of Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back, the photo also has a long paper caption that notes he was in his 19th year (1923) and was batting better than ever! This is the only vintage example of this photograph we have ever seen in the hobby and despite two embossed "File Copy" stamps from Underwood, the photo presents beautifully. One of Cobb's best batting images we have ever handled and it is being offered here for the first time ever.
