Item Description
8x9-7/8" glossy second generation photo depicting Baseball Hall of Fame great, Ty Cobb. Photographer's stamp on the back indicates "Salas, 319 West 50th St., New York 19, NY". Cobb is widely regarded as one of the top 5-10 MLB players of all time, first all time with a career batting average of .366 while posting 117 home runs, 1,944 RBI's, 2,245 runs scored, 897 stolen bases and 295 triples. Cobb would play his first 22 seasons for the Detroit Tigers and his final two with the Philadelphia Athletics. Cobb was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936, one of the first five ballplayers ever inducted. Front of photo exhibits a bit of emulsion scattered around the edges. Back of photo reads "Ty Cobb - El Immortal, Melocoton De Yorgia, July 27, 1957". While this photo looks to have been produced during the period taken, the image quality leads us to believe that it was developed from another photo as opposed to the original negative, thus, making it a second generation photograph. VF. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA.
