BF2 Choices.....Wags or Jackson?

[bijoem]

Keep the Jackson - great pose.

Normally I prefer Wagner over Jackson any day of the week -
but that is one of my least favorite Wagner poses.

I would definitely prefer the Jackson over the Wagner.

1. Jackson is available in far fewer sets than Wagner

2. The factory tag is very cool.

3. Maybe it's OCD of me, but I like the straight edges/cut of the Jackson versus the wavy cut of the Wagner.

Regardless, they are both incredibly beautiful pieces! Never seen either of those before; thanks for sharing.

PS: I am looking for Buck Herzog or Ivy Wingo from this set if anyone has them available.

Keep the Jackson as it appears from the scan that the Wagner may have been sewn at one time (the uneven outside borders & it seems like I can see stitch holes (but it is tough to see these in the scan sometimes)). Were they in the same condition I would still probably have gone with the Jackson.

Having seen them both first hand in your booth....no brainer........Jackson. Jackson is a much tougher pennant in the set. More Wagners out there from what I've seen. And agree with Rhett as there appears to be some wavyness to the Wags. Also the tab on the back is the coup-de-gras..........

What's up with the white border around Jackson? That really ruins eye appeal for me. And I am biased when I say keep the Wagner.

Normally I would say keep the Wags as I think that most Jackson/Black Sox stuff is vastly overhyped and valued, but the Wags looks to may have been part of a stitched piece before so in this instance I would probably keep the Jax. If both were clean, with centered photos and the like - I would keep the Wags.

Wags for me. The JJ pic appears to be miscut? But boy does JJ stuff sell for good money. Sell it, get the farm and still have a nice Wags in the collection.

I agree the JJ picture looks to be miscut but that doesn't bother me too much. The other borders are so large, relative to others I see, that there is no doubt it is in fact a factory miscut. So far, the reasons I like the JJ are:

1. More scarce as a BF2
2. the back tab is really neat and as a type it is sort of needed
3. I can resell the Wags and recoup a good chunk of change
4. I have fewer JJ's in my collection, overall

Reasons I would keep Wags instead.

1. Better quality picture.
2. The backing (felt) is a better color than white.
3. Less costly so could recoup more if I sell Wags.

I am still leaning towards the JJ but the other observations are certainly relevent and something to consider. Thanks to all who have responded so far and keep the comments coming.....

I'd go with the Jackson- all of the reasons have already been stated
