The Wagner is obviously a rarer card by far...but the CJ looks much better and is a Jackson...

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.

Jax. I just like color cards better than the monotones. And the CJ is a classic image too.

I once had a BIG boss by that name at AT&T.....never have forgotten him.
He was a Burl Ives-esque type character.

Also, had the entire 1914 CJ set.....and sold it 10 years ago. Never really cared for these cards....
....because they were never really cards....they were printed on thick, poor quality paper.

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.

that beautiful Cracker Jack card... easy choice. Forget about the $$$ value, I'd pick Jackson, and "crack" him outa that slab.

IMO, the Texas Tommy cards are butt ugly.

I'd take the CJ Jackson.

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.

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...

this might sound crazy...nothing personal, just some food for thought...

you guys are forever bashing PSA collectors for "buying the holder"...not the card...

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...

not true for me.

I think the Texas Tommy is a cooler looking card, and is of a player I would rather collect.

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.

My only criteria was - which one would I rather look at and hold as my own.

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.

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.

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..

I'm with Ted Z., never have liked the Cracker Jacks. Just pieces of flimsy paper. Wagner all day.

Texas Tommy, and it wouldn't even have to be a Wagner....never liked this particular Jax card all that much.

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).

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.

Jeff,

I'll settle for either one, so when are you going to mail it to me.
