Title: 1900s Ty Cobb Georgia Peach Decal Bat Value????
Post by: jumpontopski on May 31, 2012, 07:02:45 PM

Hello All,

I need a little help from the antique sports memorabilia experts out there. I have this Ty Cobb bat that I listed on ebay and want to see if anyone has an idea of price. I saw a few out there in the $2k range but there is something different about this one. It is a model 27 louisville instead of the usual 40TC that you see out there for Ty Cobb. It is also 17.5" where most of the souvenir ones sold or for sale are 14". Any feedback on this item is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help. Here is the link below:

I just watched an auction show today on cable and it talked about a Ty Cobb tobacco container that was worth $5,000! And at the auction it went for $4,300 and the guy bought it for a dollar.

I would try and find a Ty Cobb collector.

The tobacco tin was rare...there was only 8-10 still in existance to the expert's knowledge.

Good luck.
