Offered here is an extraordinary and exceedingly rare relic from the Deadball Era — a 1908 American League Champion Detroit Tigers Team Silk, featuring a young Ty Cobb in just his third major league season. Measuring approximately 12” x 13”, this ornate silk was produced as a commemorative item during one of the Tigers’ earliest championship campaigns, and remains a visually stunning tribute to one of baseball’s legendary squads. The centerpiece of the silk is a beautifully designed collage of circular portrait headshots, each featuring a member of the 1908 Detroit Tigers, artfully arranged against the backdrop of an Official American League baseball. The league ball’s stamp design subtly peeks through behind the players, creating a layered, multidimensional effect that reflects the sophisticated craftsmanship of the era. Shown frame measures approximately 17-1/4" x 17-1/4".
