Arguably the greatest pure hitter to ever take to the baseball diamond, Ty Cobb single-signed baseballs have always been highly prized by autograph collectors. Even though Cobb lived to the age of seventy-four (13 years longer than Babe Ruth), his reputation for being unfriendly and unapproachable no doubt deterred potential autograph seekers. That being said, Cobb single signed baseballs are by far rarer than the Ruth variety, making them a tough find for baseball collectors. Presented here is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these signed spheres from the Georgia Peach himself! This vintage Reach Official American League (Barnard) baseball was signed by Ty Cobb on a side panel. The baseball has clear signs of aging and both the signature and official stamping on the baseball have faded considerably. However, with Cobb's lifetime being further and further in the past and these single signed balls being such a rarity, you don't want to miss the opportunity to own this rare vintage example! Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
