I certainly agree that the Joe Jax CJ is an amazing looking card. However, from an aesthetics perspective, my favorite Jax batting pose are his 1917 Boston Store/Collins McCarthy & 1920 Holdom Bread issues. His imposing full black uniform and “Black Betsy bat over shoulder” image is simply awe-inspiring, to say the least. The CJ has the advantage of the colorful red background, but that black uniform illustration “seals the deal” for me.” All personal preference of course.

It's interesting as many elements make up the reasons why the Joe Jackson's cards have favorites... I love the 1914/15 CJ Joe & love all the same the real photo pics on the 1915/16 Sporting News & 1917 - Black Uni pose, but as far as image, I don't think I have seen a better photo image than the 1913 Nat'l Game pic on a card. It's up close, and shows Joe's true essence and it's his earliest real image on a card. Between the the litho 1909 and CJ image, no question the CJ wins hands down. Super attractive. Between the real images, I like the National game image the best, but if we are going pure pose, I like the Sporting news with that swing and real image coming at you... The 1917 is just cool with the Black Uni... All are great cards and appeal to different collectors for different reasons whether it be price, rarity, earliest known image, type, etc... It's all about the Joe's
