After Cobb died in 1961, the teeth were preserved. Ty biographer Al Stump held the teeth for years before offloading them to Sotheby's in 1999...to the current shipper, who has held the dentures for over 22 years.

Of course, Cobb was one of baseball's first stars...and a real problem at home plate.

In 1909, he won the Triple Crown, MVP of the L.A. in 1911, and was a 12-time batting champion. Cobb averaged .366 and 4,191 hits over his 24-season career.

Cobb was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936.
