T210 Joe Jackson

[Piratedogcardshows]

Seems cheap to me as it was a beautiful JJ example. I think it was a great buy. I agree the stain probably kept a few people off of it. That card is the Honus Wagner T206 of my collecting world. My reprint will have to continue to make do though

Regarding the OP's original question which is a good one. The relation to prices newer cards have reached as opposed to the JJ T210 rookie is very interesting to me. Im not in the postwar market but I see what you are saying. Rose and Reggie Jackson rookies are going for comparable prices to this obviously more rare T card. To each his own I suppose. I dont really understand the whole current 50's/60's card craze.

That is the "problem" with the card. It is not his rookie card. His 1909 E90-1, which shows him with the Philadelphia Athletics was issued before his T210 card.

Thank you for the correction Kevin.

Not a rookie but the image is so much better than the no-nose heavy lipstick E90-1.

Agreed.

+1. I don't own the card, but I think it has the least eye appeal of any card capable of 5 figures.

Agreed...quite possibly the ugliest rookie card of any blue chip pre war player. If I owned one I'd have sold it a long long time ago!!!!!! I'll prefer a cj any day of the week!!!
