A highly desirable pre-war tobacco card featuring one of the most iconic players in baseball history, Ty Cobb, from the celebrated 1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folder series. This example pairs Cobb with Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings, with the center panel capturing the action scene titled “Ty Cobb Steals Third”—one of the more popular and recognizable scenes in the entire T202 set.

The T202 series is renowned for its unique triple-panel format, combining two player portraits with a detailed baseball action image in the center. Cards featuring Cobb are among the most sought after in the set, and this particular scene highlights his aggressive baserunning style that defined his legendary career.

Graded SGC 1 POOR, this example shows significant wear consistent with its grade, including heavy corner rounding, creasing, and surface wear from age and handling. As typical with T202 issues, fold lines are present and contribute to the assigned grade. Despite the condition, the card remains intact and still displays the full triple-panel design, making it a presentable and affordable example of a scarce Cobb issue.

The Hassan Triple Folders are notoriously fragile due to their fold-out construction, and many examples did not survive in collectible condition. Even lower-grade examples featuring Cobb continue to see strong demand due to their historical importance and visual appeal.

A great opportunity to own an original Ty Cobb-era tobacco card at an accessible level, perfect for collectors seeking a genuine pre-war Hall of Fame piece with strong character and historical significance.
