1919 Joe Jackson

[cubman1941]

A person contacted me on Facebook and asked if I knew anything about a picture he posted. It is a picture of Joe Jackson full figure ,Sox uni, left hand on hip right hand on top of a baseball bat. Caption is Joe Jackson Left Field. I did some research and came up with maybe a 1919 Davis in one paragraph. But I don't know anything about the 1919 Davis - is it a page out of a magazine or an obscure set? There is paper loss from his left shoulder down through the figure and obscuring the last name and "Field" Face is intact. He might be willing to sell it also if anyone is interested. I asked him to join the site and post the picture but guess he couldn't figure out how to do that. I will pass any information on and then step out.

thanks.

I don't know what set this is from (if any) or if it is real or fake HOWEVER, a seller by the name of ACOFIND from Indiana used to sell these and they were all fake.

According to my copy Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards, it is from a set purported to be issued in 1917 by Davis Printing Works. There is supposedly only one complete set known to exist; therefore I would assume that the card shown is a reprint.

Here is a thread about these cards from the Archive Center of this forum:

Tom,
Thank you very much. I was looking for Davis and did not think of White Sox Team issue. With all this information I will pass on to him that his card is believed to be a reprint.
I appreciate all the info the board has provided me.

I was at a party several years ago, maybe 7?, and was casually speaking with another collector when one of our party said he had that uniquely known 1917 set. I said, "it figures".

ps...I like it when 16 yrs old threads get linked to. Time flies..
