I have often wondered about the extreme value of Joe Jackson cards. If there had been no Black Sox and Jackson had kept playing, one could reasonably assume he had 5-8 years left in his career at some fair high value. He probably gets 3000 hits (although not a lock, since he was 33 in 1920, which is not that young). He hits into the live ball era, which might morph his stats a little. My guess is that when all is said and done, he probably has numbers that look similar to Tris Speaker's, with a few more triples and a few less doubles. While Speaker cards are not dirt cheap, they certainly don't command Joe Jackson value, or even close. Is that about what we would expect for Jackson if he had a normal end to his career?
