Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Texas Tommy - Easy for me to say....But yeah I will always go with rarity. The Jackson card will come up for sale a couple times a year. The Texas Tommy you may never see again.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>I once had a BIG boss by that name at AT&T.....never have forgotten him.<br />He was a Burl Ives-esque type character.<br /><br />Also, had the entire 1914 CJ set.....and sold it 10 years ago. Never really cared for these cards....<br />....because they were never really cards....they were printed on thick, poor quality paper.<br /><br />TED Z

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>The Wagner is rarer, worth more, and a card of a hall of famer and I already have a '15 Jax and I used to own a '14 Jax BUT I would still take the Jax. I've never had any interest in the TTs.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>that beautiful Cracker Jack card... easy choice. Forget about the $$$ value, I'd pick Jackson, and "crack" him outa that slab.<br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>IMO, the Texas Tommy cards are butt ugly. <br /><br />I'd take the CJ Jackson.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>I would choose the Wagner. In fact, even if you threw in a CJ Cobb in the same grade to go along with the CJ Jackson, I would still choose the TT Wagner.

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>Even though the TT Wagner is worth more I'd take the Jax... I wouldn't be smart enough to take the Wagner, sell it and buy the Jax and have enough money left over to buy a Happy Meal at McDonalds...

Posted By: <b>mvsnyc</b><p>this might sound crazy...nothing personal, just some food for thought...<br /><br />you guys are forever bashing PSA collectors for "buying the holder"...not the card...<br /><br />this sounds kinda similiar...you guys are blindly "picking rarity" over beauty...regardless of what the card looks like...that wagner card is one of the ugliest cards i have ever seen...the jackson has so much eye appeal, and is a pretty rare & valuable card in its own right...

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>not true for me.<br /><br />I think the Texas Tommy is a cooler looking card, and is of a player I would rather collect.<br /><br />I made my decision assuming I would never be able to sell or trade the card. So value or rarity didn't come into play.<br /><br />My only criteria was - which one would I rather look at and hold as my own.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>Joe D-<br /><br />fair enough...i should have said "some of you guys"...

Posted By: <b>Bob Pomilla</b><p>Simple choice for me. Being a team collector and neither card being of the team I collect, I would take the rarer one, as it would translate into more buying power for me, of cards of the team I do collect.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Bingo Joe. I made the same assumptions about having it to keep, not sell or trade or whatever. That's how I landed on the Jax - just like the color more. Same thought processes, different outcomes. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As a scarcity collector the obvious choice to me is the Texas Tommy...If both were valued at $1 each....I would go with Wags.....at the end of the day this is a chocolate vs vanilla question..

Posted By: <b>paulstratton</b><p>I'm with Ted Z., never have liked the Cracker Jacks. Just pieces of flimsy paper. Wagner all day.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Not even close. I can find a JJ regularly; try finding the TT

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Texas Tommy, and it wouldn't even have to be a Wagner....never liked this particular Jax card all that much.<br /><br />Daniel

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>For those that say a TT is unattractive. I think they are very attractive. I love the large bio on back, the card size in nice and almost the same as a modern card, and the photos on most are fairly unique. Saying all that, I also think the CJ cards are attractive too (except the lame 1914 Matty pose).<br /><br />But my pick is based mainly on the fact that the CJ (E145-1, E145-2), even though its highly desired, is far far more common, 100+X more.
