A Sweet Silk Score: Ty Cobb!!

One of my fun side vintage PCs is Ty Cobb. His stuff is obviously expensive on the whole so pickups are few and far between. However, when the opportunity presents itself, I rarely let that opportunity pass me by as I know it may not reappear for some time.

This beautiful 1909-11 S74 Silk (White) was an auction house acquisition in raw form that I sent off to SGC for safe storage. I love the way it looks in its new tuxedo and I really dig the oddball, scarce, and condition-sensitive set that is these Silks.

My PC of the Georgia Peach is small but solid and snagging his cardboard or ephemera is always a good time and a truly great feeling. Interestingly, he and I have a common bond -- the day of my birth happens to be the day of his death with 28 years between those occurrences.
