I don't normally do this sort of post, but I know a lot of guys on here are interested in authentic Joe Jackson photos and memorabilia, so I am posting a link to a 1925 team photo which features Shoeless Joe Jackson. The photo is currently being auctioned at RMY Auctions web site and the direct link to the above mentioned lot is at: http://www.rmyauctions.com/1925__Shoeless__Joe_Jackson__Blacklisted_Ballplaye-LOT7592.aspx
This is a photo of the 1925 Waycross (GA) Coastliners team, which featured Joe Jackson as their player / manager. This photo comes directly from my collection and was obtained from the grandson of the editor (at the time) of the Waycross Journal Herald newspaper. This was a small town newspaper and this is the only known photo to exist for this team (this photo was not shared with the news services of the day). I just wanted you guys to know that this is available if any are interested and that the photo is as legit as you will find (in other words, there will be no debate about whether that is Joe Jackson in the photo or not :-) ). If you have any question about this fine photo that I may be able to answer, please post here and I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
