Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>That's a lot of money, but it's a nice looking example. If you were to purchase one T5, that might be the one. Joe jackson, nice condition and the photographic print pasted on straight: the trifecta! The T5 makers are rather notorious for their quality control, including often pasted the prints on crooked.

Posted By: <b>Henry Eshelman</b><p>Personally I think that card is one of the prettiest I've seen and the fact that it could be one of a kind elevates it to that price level, so no I'm not surprised.<br><br>Thanks, Henry Eshelman<br /><br />Website:www.freewebs.com/vintagebaseball

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>It should be noted that cabinet cards in any form of Joe Jackson are rare. Even if it was just a normal studio cabinet it would probably sell for lots of money.

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>To me, it is better than the t210 prookie, so it is still cheap.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>"But is it a true baseball card?"

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>I can say with certainty that it is not a unique card, however, it is still extremely rare. Jackson's T210 is a $100,000 card and has more surviving examples, so the price isn't too suprising. I'd personally rather own the 1913 Boston Garter Jackson, both amazing pieces.

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Truth is in the eyes of the beholder, in bbl cards. Why else would a Wagner reprint sell for over $200. regularly. And yes, it is a true baseball card, I think.

Posted By: <b>Bottom of the Ninth</b><p>I expect it will end up around 150K or so. <br /><br />The link to the Hunt auction results on the T5's is really depressing.

Posted By: <b>Harry Wallace (HW)</b><p>Wow!<br /><br />I love those two Jackson cards. The T5 Jackson is not the only example known to exist. Actually this particular example sold about 5 years ago in a major auction for less than $10,000. What an investment!

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p> $131,000 with 25 minutes to go...Amazing. When I bought my "Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards last June, I saw the T5's in there and thought I would like to collect them along with postcards and T206's. HA. Maybe after I hit the lottery. I had no idea hoe much they went for. Every once in awhile I entered Pinkerton search on e-bay and never saw one listed. I know why now. <br><br>A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>Anyone ever have items go for well below what the consigner thought they'd get? Ever had a consigner make good on it and charge a lower consignment fee? My two items didn't budge at all during the final day (well one bid), but nothing during the last several hours.<br /><br />-Kyle-

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p> Could someone post a pic of the card? Sorry, I was late to the thread and now the picture is a big red X when I bring it up. Thanks in advance.

Posted By: <b>Bottom of the Ninth</b><p>I wanted it too but was only bold enough to come in second place.

Posted By: <b>Millerhouse</b><p>Did anyone ever check with Mile High to ask whether the entire photo is glued to the mount? Looking at the picture in a prior post, that would appear to be the case (though it's difficult to tell). Years of experience with T5s has shown that the factory only glued down a small strip of the photo at the top. Held upside down, the bottom of an unfiddled-with T5 photo on its original mount will dangle freely. Similarly, a T5 photo separated from its original mount will only show glue residue at the top.<br /><br />All that said, I'm always suspicious when a T5 is fully glued to a mount. Did anyone ever ask?<br /><br />Dan Gantt
