Christmas and a Happy New Year printed card 5"x 6' with his and wife's name also printed in red, signed in green by Cobb below "Mr. & Mrs. Ty Cobb". Does have a tear to write which can easily be matted out and does not detract from any of the printing or writing.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb (December 18, 1886[1] – July 17, 1961), nicknamed "The Georgia Peach", was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder. He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia. Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936, Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until Tom Seaver in 1992. In 1999, the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb third on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players."
