Which SGC2 1915 CJ Joe Jackson gets more?

[Fred]

Just thinking out loud. If the cards were equally desirable, then wouldn't the REA card sell for more based on the close date being earlier (one more bidder, the high bidder) removed from the Mile High bidders.

I guess it's really up to whether or not the main bidders have an issue with the presence of the stain on the REA card.

I can only say this - it ain't gonna be me with the high bid for either.

If that's how it worked, wouldn't one predict that every card would sell for less than what it sold for the last time?

Glenn, I'm just messing mess everyone. I'm hoping everyone bids up the REA and just ignores the MH card Then I can go in and sweep it up at a better price (not).

My thought was that one of the bidders would be out of the hunt and that could lead to better deal in the next one. Believe me, I realize that doesn't always happen. Lets call it 50/50 that REA sells for more than MH You can't disagree with that.

That's a toughie! I think REA mainly because of exposure. I could be wrong, and it totally could just be me, but I check REA every now and then, whereas MHA isn't really on my radar much. I didn't even know they were selling one until someone mentioned it on FB the other day.

Interesting and great points. I’m interested in the results of the poll. I think many Cracker Jack collectors appreciate the stains feeling the card then wasn’t a redemption issue but showing the nostalgia of a pack pulled example. I’ll cast my vote in a few days. Great topic.

For me, i like the REA. Like the staining, but may be too much of it on the corner.
But, the MH one does have the 2 corner creases and some white streak at the bottom, not sure what it is.
I used to own one, a Auth one due to a cut at the top border and was re-glued. It presented very nice with no stains. Bought it from PWCC raw and had it slabbed myself.
I have seen it sell later, and had thought about re-buying it at the time.
But i dont regret it..as i love my project i am working on (in my sig.)

I am also looking to see where the results end as well.

NOTE: i didnt look at the reverse (BACKS) until now:

REA:


MILEHIGH:

Which SGC2 1915 CJ Joe Jackson gets more?

I say neither, since Shoeless Joe is dead, and being dead, he ain't getting any anymore.

And I pose this to Mr. Jackson himself - If I am incorrect about you being dead and not getting any anymore, say it ain't so, Joe!

And it's a tossup between the two for me, as each has something better than the other...I say they get the exact same amount.

Obviously they are both similar and they both have same Grade and by same grading company(so the Argument of PSA vs SGC is out).

Now it is more a preference of the eye appeal to the bidder.

I would be proud to have either in my collection. But I would choose Mile High

My exact same amount prediction was off, but at this level a couple thousand dollars difference is hardly noticeable.

That's not how it plays out in practice though. Sometimes bidders will hold back on the first one because they know there is another one around the corner. They don't want to overspend on the first one and they don't want to inflate the comps for the next one, so they'll bid more conservatively. Then, when the second one drops, they compete more aggressively because they don't know when the next one will come to market and where the market might be on it when it does.

I think the REA outsells the Mile High. Also, I'm a gambling man, so if anyone wants to place a friendly side bet on this one, let me know!

[3-2-count]

I know which one I like better and its not even close.

I'll keep it to myself though Good luck everyone!

We know. Slab collectors might not know.
