WTB: lower grade 1915 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe

[thenextlevel]

I am trying to locate a 1915 Cracker Jack Jackson in the PSA/SGC 2-3 range. I thought I would give it a shot here. Thanks, Chris.

Can anyone thats been around for a while answer if this one has always been tough to find? I thought a while back a good bit of 1915 CJ's were uncovered so there should be more Jacksons out there but I rarely see one up for auction.

I agree with the above poster. They seem to be really hard to find in the grade you are after. I happened to get this one off of Leon 2 years ago by luck. I emailed him to see what was in his upcoming auction, and he happened to have one in his personal collection for sale.

Prior to that, I looked for a couple years for a nice low grade example. This one is graded a "2", but Leon and myself feel it's a "3". No creases or stains. Higher grade examples have come up in the last year or two, but lower grade examples are tough. Best of luck in your search.

Thanks for the kind words Ed!

When Leon sent me the scan, It was exactly what I was looking for, and the price was right. It's a great example of buy the card, not the holder.

You might have better luck posting this in the Pre-War section rather than 19th Century.
