PWCC Shoeless Joe Cracker Jack Card
 

Any guesses where this ends tonight?

Is a truly stunning card. On the other hand, not a card that is iconic, on the short list of most important cards of all time.

I'm guessing in the mid 80s, but who knows in this environment.

If you could have this or the LaJoie card LOTG is selling, which would you pick?

It is a great card....could hit 80k, who knows.. Personally I like collecting Cobb more than Lajoie but that is an individual preference...

omg looks like it was just printed wow...

It looks as sharp as a 1954 Topps Archives card.

Too soon? :D

OK, you got me on that one. But I did flag in my message that I had no clue about post war cards. . . . . and I proved it.

Unless I'm missing something I don't see the CJ Lajoie listed on the SGC pop registry. If I was going to drop 70k on a card I'd like to see evidence it's on population report from the grading company.

Um
 

LOTG is not auctioning any Cracker Jack Lajoie that is a Goudey and a well known short print.

And...
 

And a 1975 Brett PSA 10 is now at $40,000. - OMG!, wow ! Jaw on floor! Makes that Green Cobb PSA 5.5 $18k last year look dirt cheap. And for us common folks, there are few T206 portrait Matty, W.Johnson & Young PSA 5's going off that look way nice for the grade - curious how those 3 end.

40k for a 75 brett ,,wow whats my psa 8 go for lol.

Current top 4 cards that PWCC is selling. A couple of Aaron Rookies and a 58 Mantle just missed the cut. Look forwarded in seeing the final price and I think its long overdue with the card market compared to other markets (Coins, Art, Cars, etc..)

I would take a nice CJ Jackson over the Goudey Lajoie for sure. And you can still pick up a nice 75 Brett PSA 8 in the 300 range.

This oversized Jackson was mine at one point. I had it graded and sold it on ebay years ago. The buyer put it in a REA auction and made a huge return. Wish I still had it.

That Jackson is gonna end up right around 75k.. Good for that guy.


For fun:
Best long term investment for sinking 6k into:
(Disclaimer: the grades will vary with the cards of course to fit the budget)


CJ JJ (ripped)
48 leaf Paige
33 Goudey Ruth
34 Goudey Gehrig
14/15 CJ Cobb

Interested to see some thoughts:

I think the Gehrig and Ruth would be the only two you could buy at $6k

I bet you could find the CJs and Paige in the 1 range for around 6k, but I don't know about their investment potential. The real low grade cards don't tend to move as much. I would find the nicest Ruth you could find personally. Maybe a yellow 4. Or a red or 144 4-5 if they're still available at 6k.

Ruth.

Ruth? We were all just schooled yesterday that it is Jordan.

Shows how I have so much more to learn...

I would have bet anything that the responses would have been "get the paige" if you can find it.

I didn't have the 33 goudey ruth pegged to make the top 3.

I guess the 33 goudey with him batting is the way to go?

Thanks!
