 Lot 202. PC773-4 1908 Detroit Free Press Ty Cobb. Far more difficult than the Topping Cobb or the Rose Company postcard of Cobb, a similar card of Cobb in lesser condition brought $5,704 in our last auction. This Cobb is very well centered, with sharp corners and a near perfect appearance. Only flaws are two tiny stains or hinge marks in the upper right and lower left corners (see scan) where the card was obviously mounted in an album. A dream card.
Winning Bid $7,594.

 Lot 207. 1906 Winthrop Moving Picture Post Card of Mordecai Three Fingered Brown. Very rare! An extremely rare Thumb Movie of Mordecai Brown is part of a post card set featuring major league baseball players, mostly New York Giants. The Post card which measures 4” x 2 1/4” and is 3/8” thick contains 24 pages which, when fanned, show a complete pitch from Brown. The Post card reads on the front “Three Fingered Brown The Famous Twirler of The Chicago National League Baseball Team For Directions See LAST LEAF WINTHROP MOVING PICTURE POST CARD”. The inside back cover has the simple directions. The Front Cover has “No. 24” indicating there are at least 24 subjects and I would guess 50-75% of them have never been seen. The “card” is in at least very good condition.
