Joe Jackson remains red hot in these current auctions!

[Jstottlemire1]

Are the rest of you noticing the continued transcendence of his cards? The market has slowed in many ways and as we’ve seen some correction his playing years memorabilia and cards are still escalating!

Almost like people just figured out...he was good!

That hideous hand cut yellow back ground card is being flipped almost weekly! Next to his RC, must be the second ugliest card in the planet. Who cares? Buy it now

"It ain't so, Joe, is it?" "Yes, kid, I'm afraid it is."

You wonder what values would be if he had been in T206 and there were thousands more of his cards out there.

This didn’t actually happen nor was said by Jackson…I read a great book on Jackson and it detailed the whole 1919 scandal with courtroom reports, too. This infamous encounter and dialogue with a kid on the courthouse steps never actually happened. Jackson and another person traveling together from court to a car after corroborated this didn’t happen. It was fabricated by the newspaper reporter to push the narrative of Jackson's involvement, which until his death he continually denied and his WS stats also proved his innocence, as did his acquittal.

I always prefer to sit down when corrected, which prevents getting whacked with a paddle on the behind.
