The seven T206 Ty Cobb cards from a 1909-1911 series are expected to be worth “well into the seven figures” altogether, Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Newport Beach said. So, when American Tobacco Company created what is now called the T206 baseball card set in 1909-11, it was fitting that Cobb was one of the centerpieces of the set. There is, however, another card of "The Georgia Peach" that is far tougher than any of the aforementioned Cobb cards. The cards feature Ty Cobb on the front and the words "Ty Cobb" followed by "king of the smoking tobacco world" on the back. Professional Sports Authenticator 
 
 Prior to the find, there were about 15 of the cards known, Orlando said. Now pedigreed by PSA as “The Lucky 7 Find,” these are the T206 Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb back cards recently discovered in the home of their anonymous owner’s deceased great-grandfather. Professional Sports Authenticator 
 
 The cards were discovered in a torn paper bag in the home of a family’s late great-grandfather earlier this year, and was almost mistaken for trash, Orlando said. Rick has been a fixture in the hobby for many years and has handled some very high-end material.
– Relatives considered tossing the torn paper bag they found in the southern home of their late great-grandfather earlier this year. It's a good thing they didn't: Buried beneath old postcards and papers was one of the biggest discoveries of rare baseball cards ever. On Wednesday, memorabilia expert Joe Orlando confirmed the seven cards featuring Hall of Famer Ty Cobb are from a 1909-1911 American Tobacco Company set and worth "well into the seven figures," reports NBC News. Only 15 were previously known to exist. "Finding one of these cards is news," Orlando tweeted. "Finding seven in one shot is ridiculous." (An Ohio man found a card collection worth $3 million.)
