Description: Ty Cobb professional model baseball bat c.1925-28. Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 34 1/2" long and weighs 35oz. Dating to the final years of Cobb's storied career, the bat remains uncracked with outstanding usage characteristics. Telltale signs of CobbÆs aggression include slight checking (grain separation) from repeated ball contact on the front and right barrel, visible ball marks throughout, and scoring on the right barrel. A moderate coat of vintage gripping substance remains on the handle. The quality of the wood is outstanding, though it appears that some grain separation on the front and right barrel has been repaired. The labeling period can be pinpointed to 1925-28 when Cobb served the Tigers as both player and manager before transitioning to Philadelphia for his final two seasons. A bat used by the great Ty Cobb is a treasure in any form, with the offered example a particularly superb specimen. Includes LOA's from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Graded GU7) and Hunt Auctions: EX
