Getting the Record Straight Shoeless Joe Jackson Military service

Eva, instead of posting an endless array of photos of Joe Jackson, can you please post just 1 higher-resolution image of the individual in your panoramic photo? If comparison photos are warranted after that, I'm sure that plenty of high-quality comps can be produced of Joe Jackson. You (and/or the folks at Huggins) are the only ones with access to the guy in the panoramic though.

Just another case of a collector spending days on his knees praying that an item is really what they want it to be. Yup, a farm tool is a bat. The paper item is old., the pennant too cool not to be real. The guy in this picture is....

People and their money are always around to make fools of themselves and there is always someone there to help them along

Jim, I don't think that's the case - he already knows it's not Jackson, and that the other one wasn't Walker (the bogus Fleetwood Walker piece also originated with EVAJOY91). It looks like he obtains old baseball photos and then tries to find someone in the photo who looks like a famous baseball player. If he can come up with a close enough visual match, he sends it to an auction house and hopes it flies. The only praying going on is that an auction house will accept it and that a couple of collectors will believe the BS.
