cracker jack joe jackson

[benderbroeth]

I am really considering trading most of my collection for a cracker jack Joe Jackson, which card is harder to fins and what do PSA 1's range in price?

[Delray Vintage]

Probably 3500 to 4500, SMR is 3500 but they are not up for sale that often.

Last month a PSA 1 Jackson on eBay sold for $6643.22: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1915-Cracker...item2a25802605

That is one of the best looking PSA 1's I've ever seen. I'm sure that had something to do with the final price. Also, what's up with the upside down back? Are a lot of CJ's like that?

1914 vs. 1915

All of the 1915's have upside down backs. 1914 right side up. Cheers

There was a nice "A" that sold for around 4k 18 months or so ago, never seen another one sell for less than $5500.

That 1 is really hard to figure, looks like a 3 to me. I assume someone is going to crack it out and resubmit to Psa or Sgc. I have an Sgc 40 of the 1914 version which I have had for years and have seen prices go to around 12k for it.

Thanks McKenzie! I never knew CJ's were like that...very intriguing!

I believe the 1915's were printed with the backs upside down so that when the cards were mounted in the album using mounts at the top of the reverse they were able to be lifted up to see the back and you would then be able to read the backs right side up.

That is the nicest looking Joe Jackson 1 I have ever seen!! That is what is wrong with grading and ONLY using a VCP price. All "whatever grade the card is" are not created the same.

Sadly I stopped bidding at $4,500

[rainier2004]

That Jax was nice and I had a lot of correspondence with Phil about the card. He repeatedly mentioned some spider web wrinkles on the front that was evident in scans. He sent me additional scans and I never could see them. I was the inderbidder on that one...would have sold mine then. It looked very nice.

My SGC 10s or PSA 1s don't look like that one at all. That is a really nice Jackson. My wife paid $600 for my ungraded (now resides in an SGC "A" holder) 1914 Cracker Jack Jackson 5 years ago.
