Tragically, Joe Jackson had the third highest lifetime BA (.356) but he never won a batting title. He barely led the league in any stats (triples a few times, hits a couple of times). I'm not saying he was a terrible player but he really wasn't on the same level as some of the all time greats.
Relative to other players, his cards always had a premium associated with them, before the Field of Dream movies. Yes, his cards have sky rocketed but then again, so have a lot of other cards of other players.
