The baseball legend spent 22 years with the Detroit Tigers before being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It’s often said "There’s a market for everything," and that certainly rang true when a bidder shelled out more than $18,000 to own dentures once belonging to baseball legend and Detroit Tigers’ center fielder Ty Cobb. — to be exact— for the false teeth that were once displayed in the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
"The upper and lower dentures come with Cobb's original plaster denture holder and brass opening device," SCP said. Currently, there’s no well-known explanation as to why Cobb’s dentures are so valuable. The dentures were held for years by author Al Stump and then Karen Shemonsky, according to SCP.
