1915/1916 W-UNC Strip Card Joe Jackson

Ok so it just happens that REA and Mastro bot have one of these, and I am curious about a few things.

Anyone have any other cards from this set? How rare are they and do they ever come up for sale.

Are there only 2 of these jacksons? I find it slightly hard to believe that there are only two and they just happen to come up for sale at the same time.

Anyone with any ideas about this set or what these might go for.

Lastly, would it be a crime to try to turn the piece back down on the REA one, that white spot just pulls the eye right away.

That is a tough set. I have seen multiples on a few of the cards in the set, but haven't seen more than 3 of any one particular card. I only own the Philadelphia Team card and I believe Leon also has a copy of the team, but I could be wrong. I also doubt there are only 2 Jackson's but I would be surprised if there were more than 4-5 known of the card.

Mile High sold one within the last year or two. Look for the catalog with the yellow and red fron from an old Topps pack.

I agree with Rhett. The cards are tough in any condition. Ive only owned 2 over the years and am always looking for them.

Is that the same set as the Rucker I sold to you about 10 years ago?

Anybody know if Harry Heilmann appears in this set or was it strictly those cards which appeared in the Sporting News issues?

So what in the world do these cards sell for. Is it the type of set that even commons in low grade bring good money ie 500-1000 or more or is it a set that many don't care about because of it's unknown origins.

Paid under $200.00 for each except Rucker which was around $230.00. I apologize for the variance in scans.

I paid about 350 for my team one about 3-4 years ago (I think)....I would guess a common today at about $400-$500 in gd-vg....that's just a guess though as they are so scarce....regards

Is yours short? Bottom look like there is enough room, but obviously the top is either short or it's miscut.

I guess these would just pop up under a general strip search...

James- I never really gave the length of it much thought. It's a strip card so I guess some are short and some aren't. I still don't understand the grading of strip cards......regards

They seem pretty uniformly cut. Has anyone put them together side by side to check variance?

Leon,

I just based it on what the two verison of the same card look like. Yours has no boarder on when end while Rhetts is almost perfectly centered.

I realize that because they are a strip card there might be some size differences, but it seems like yours is either short or miscut.

Then again it seems like with this set it doesn't really matter :-D
