Description: Unique Ty Cobb dual autographed poster c.1955. Oversized 23"x30" color poster pictures Cobb in uniform leaning over a boy who is sliding into base. Amazingly, Cobb has signed the poster twice to legendary collector Jim Armstrong. The first signature is signed across Cobb's left shoulder, "To Jim Armstrong From Ty Cobb" in green ink rating 9/10 out of 10. The second signature is positioned just under the image of the boy and reads, "To My Friend Jim Armstrong From Ty Cobb 2/4/55" in green ink also rating 9/10 out of 10. The poster itself is notably rare as this series is more commonly seen in a calendar format. Overall condition of the poster is fairly strong, retaining excellent original color with some areas of surface creasing that do not affect the signatures. The bottom right corner appears to have some light moisture exposure with some creasing, and a small portion is adhered to the glass. Housed in a period white painted folk art style frame. One of the largest format Ty Cobb signed items that we have encountered of any type. Includes LOA from James Spence Authentication: Poster: VG-EX, Signatures: NM-MT
