The 1909 T206 Ty Cobb Polar Bear portrait with a red background is one of the most iconic and sought-after baseball cards in collecting history. Featuring the legendary Detroit Tigers outfielder, the card captures Cobb’s intense expression against a striking red backdrop, epitomizing his fiery persona on the field. Part of the famed T206 series, this particular variation was distributed in packs of Polar Bear tobacco, making it unique due to the brand's packaging, which often resulted in cards being prone to staining. It remains a prized piece for collectors, symbolizing an era when baseball cards and tobacco promotions were intertwined.
