Graded 10 Poor 1 by SGC. There is little "poor" with the offered 1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel Ty Cobb candy card. The haunting portrait of "The Georgia Peach" emerges from a deep purple backdrop that is crease-free and framed by evenly rounded corners with slightly off-white edges. Additionally, the checklist reverse is entirely unmarked. The technical judgment is due to a thin and barely perceptible strip of even paper loss along the back right edge which does not affect the text. If there ever was a case to "buy the card and not the holder," this regional Ty Cobb would be the standard bearer!
