The Georgia Peach!
An outstanding example of a Ty Cobb signed government postcard, showcasing a bold, expansive autograph from “The Georgia Peach” in his iconic green ink. Dated August 7, 1955 by Cobb himself and postmarked August 12, 1955 from Menlo Park, CA - where he typically resided during the winter months - the signature is large and confidently rendered, with strong contrast and exceptional eye appeal. It is precisely the style advanced collectors seek when they pursue a Cobb government postcard.
Encapsulated and graded Near Mint 7 by PSA/DNA, the autograph presents stronger than the technical grade suggests, and contrasts perfectly off the cream colored paper.
In short, this is a stunner — and, in our opinion, the proper way to collect a Ty Cobb autograph:
The desirable government postcard format
Bold green fountain pen ink
A large, flowing signature
Player-dated example
High-grade overall presentation

The Legend of Ty Cobb
Cobb’s credentials are nothing short of staggering. He retired with a career .366 batting average and an extraordinary record of 12 batting titles - a benchmark many believe will never be surpassed. He captured the Triple Crown in 1909, led the league in numerous offensive categories, and was awarded the American League MVP Award in 1911.
His career totals are equally imposing:
4,189 hits
1,944 RBI
892 stolen bases, a record that stood for roughly half a century
A lifetime .433 on-base percentage
No doubt he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its original five inductees in the landmark 1936 class, a testament to how the game itself regarded his dominance.
Beyond his playing brilliance, Cobb also managed the Detroit Tigers for six seasons, serving as player/manager from 1921 through 1926 - a rare dual role that further cemented his imprint on the sport.
History will always rank Cobb among the very greatest to ever step onto a baseball diamond. Some will argue that title belongs to Babe Ruth, others to Willie Mays or Hank Aaron. But in any serious discussion of baseball immortality, Cobb’s name is permanently etched near, or at the top. And when one considers those 12 batting titles, it is difficult to imagine that particular standard ever being eclipsed.
