25%, although it drops with larger sized purchases.

wait until the winners see their additional charges (BP, Tax, extraordinary Shipping & Handling)

tack on another 30-40% to any winning bid you are looking at.

Guy who paid 1.2M for the Shoeless Joe photo might not care when Christies hits him up for $475 for shipping.

They do package damm good though. Will take you an hour to unpack it.

I agree that winner won't even notice it. But for many of the others who are unfamiliar with their shipping:

His signature quality sure did go down hill from 1911 to 1916.

Was there some kind of extraordinary provenance on the Jackson auto? I basically wouldn't trust anyone to authenticate one since what exactly serves as their exemplar file?

Hi

I am not sure of all the Provence but this is the same one that sold on Heritage I believe in 2015 or 16 from the The Frank W. Smith Collection,

Cool, and I wasn't suggesting anything was going on, just that I don't know how you can authenticate an autograph when there's less than a handful that are even suspected of being legit. Clearly he never signed his name enough to develop ANY consistencies let alone enough to make solid comparisons. Hence my curiosity about the provenance.

I hope it’s real, bc if it is, it’s awesome. However, I know several people who are dubious about the authenticity of the auto; the feedback being the writing does not seem shaky enough for Joe Jackson’s signature. I was also told to question all Jackson signatures unless it was on a check of official document where it’s much harder to fake. The PSA authentication means little in my book.

Compare the one at Christie’s with the signatures on the two documents in these two articles.

I agree with you Ryan - I have trouble seeing how Jackson could have signed the photo that cleanly. I always heard he basically had to draw his signature on the rare occasions when he would sign.

It's also Christies, which I wouldn't blame people for having a difficult time trusting. Between their price fixing scandal, and their most recent lack of due-diligence when it came to provenance of Ancient Roman/Greek artifacts, I would be slightly skeptical at a minimum. Though comparing ancient artifacts, to a signature from Joe Jackson, would be like comparing Apples, to Oranges.

However as it was pointed out it already sold at auction once before.
