One of the many reasons enthusiasts favor the T202 Hassan Triple Folders is because “The Georgia Peach” is featured on 5 of the 132 issues comprising the complete set. Another reason is because the Cobb panel found on these cards is an almost exact reproduction of the classic image found on the immensely popular T205 Gold Border issue from the previous year. Offered is one of the finest surviving examples of the various Cobb issues from the T202 set, a high-end PSA NM/MT 8 that is, again, undoubtedly among the finest T202 Cobb’s in existence. Featuring Detroit teammate George Moriarty, the offered high-grade specimen boasts perfect centering, precise registration, MINT corners and edges, an unusually clean reverse, and a bold NM+ front surface. Were it not for some subtle imperfections in the red backgrounds of both players’ portraits, the offered specimen would most likely reside in a PSA MINT 9 holder. One of just three in its grade! A tremendously rare opportunity to acquire one of the crown jewels of a prominent and extremely condition sensitive tobacco issue.
