This 6" x 8" in very good condition photo has been framed to a 9 ½" x 11 ½" size in an attractive red wood frame. There is a length of the photo crease on the left side of the photo. There are three well dressed men in the photo, but the attention of any baseball fan is immediately drawn to the center gentleman. He is wearing a stylish fedora of the period, a shirt, tie, stickpin, suit with a vest and what could be a Valcuna coat. He is also Tyrus Raymond Cobb, one of the greatest baseball players of all time and one of that sports most interesting characters. Ty Cobb had over 4,000 hits, batted over .360, 13 times and had a lifetime average of .366. Ty Cobb has signed on a very light part of his coat, so that the autograph rates a solid 9+. Someone has written "Ray- Happy New Year!" across the top of the photo. The man to Cobb's left has also signed his photo, Ed Noll. Reserve $1,000
