I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

Gotta be Paul Waner...not a doubt in my mind.

I'm no forensic scientist, but when you adjust size and tilt the features line up exactly. eyes same distance apart, nose same length, heavy shadow under the overhang of the lower lip, when you drag one over the other everything lines up 100% It's kind of amazing that the angle of both photos was so similar, which made this easier.

The slight differences in the contours of the face can be attributed to my amateur crop job.

[Shoeless Moe]

I don't think it looks like him.

Also, there are 34 cities named Greenville in the U.S.

Can we see the back of the postcard?

This site, https://www.valuablepostcards.com/search?q=greenville, states this is Greenville, GA 1909. Sold for $374 in July 2020. And the PC sold on ebay with 28 bids.

Here's Jackson with the correct 1908 Greenville team.

That squatting player does look a lot like Shoeless Joe. But seriously, Joe has a much younger look in this photo compared to the Greenville Car Gang photo.

That is really funny.

I do not think that it is Joe Jackson either. Not even close to me.

[rickalaska]

I never said it was Joe Jackson, but it sure looks like him - and ironic he is in a Greenville jersey. Would not be surprised if he was a close relative of Joe Jackson (he had brothers). Sideburns are the only real difference I see.

If this guy was a Trump supporter, at the Capitol on 6 January, the FBI would have arrested Joe Jackson by now...

[Bicem]

I see the resemblance, I mean how many other people do you know that have two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

[Chris-Counts]

The player sliding bears a certain resemblance to Shoeless Joe.

So had to look since I got caught up in the mystery of this thread.

This guy on eBay has 3 of them for sale (1 auction) and he identifies them as JOE JACKSON cards.

Has the theory been proven as of now? The thread started over 10 years ago.

I believe the general consensus is that Lord-Tannehil card depicts Joe Jackson. Preward Cards and Sports Collectors Daily recognizes it. It is even mentioned in Wikipedia.

There is supposedly another one: T202 McBride-Milan ( Schaeffer Holding First) . The card sold on Ebay over the weekend and the seller said that Joe Jackson is in that one also.
