Shoeless Joe eBay question... need help

[ullmandds]

i wouldn't trust this card as authentic...it's way too east to substitute any card in a rejected sleeve?

if u must have a reasonably priced jj from his playing days...you can't go wrong with a game card...imo.

Thanks everyone for all of this. This is truly a great forum and I appreciate not being made to feel like a tool for not knowing some of these answers.
I suspected a fake and am extremely leary of buying any card of this caliber that is not in a holder. Even if it was slabbed authentic in a holder I would be fine, but not with this. And thanks Pete for the advice on a game card. Not quite as nice as the regular issues, but also wouldn't be the only card I could buy for a long long time...

Pete is right on the money with the Jackson game cards. Good size, affordable and nice images of Joe. Was watching a grade 2 that was in very nice shape Barker game card that went for around 450.00 the other day. I like the game cards much better than the Play Ball and they can be had for around half the price. Overall, a pretty decent way to get nice J J item.
