Lot Number: 256

Description: 1915 Ty Cobb Cracker Jack "card" cut from advertising display. Period "card" was cut from a larger advertising poster which was done by Cracker Jack to promote their line of product inserted trading cards. The original poster is considered one of the more important early baseball card related display pieces and ranks among the most visually appealing ever created. It is a noted rarity with a surviving population that surely numbers (5) or fewer. The offered piece is a small section which was cut from one of those signs and is the portion which depicts the Ty Cobb card. Scattered wear to the corners, edges, and a touch to the surface. Back has portions of advertising text visible. An appealing alternative to what has become one of the most valuable of all early 20th Century issues: See description
