1911 T205 Piedmont Gold Border Ty Cobb MLB Baseball Tobacco Trading Card (MVP Year) (Grade SGC 1.5) (SGC Certification: 6979161). Piedmont Cigarettes released this beautiful gold border card in 1911, which happens to be the same year Ty Cobb won the AL MVP. Nicknamed "The Georgia Peach", Ty Cobb is probably the most decorated and distinguished player of all time. Although he is not remembered as a good person, there was no question how good this man was when it came to the game of baseball. Cobb is widely credited with setting 90 MLB records during his career many of which are still considered untouchable records. His lifetime .366 batting average is still the highest mark anyone has registered throughout an entire career. We won't bother listing every accolade because we will be here all day but some of them include 12 Batting Titles (most all-time), Triple Crown Winner, AL MVP (1911), 6-time Stolen Base Leader & more.
