Joe Jackson remains red hot in these current auctions!

"It ain't so, Joe, is it?" "Yes, kid, I'm afraid it is."

You wonder what values would be if he had been in T206 and there were thousands more of his cards out there.

This didn’t actually happen nor was said by Jackson…I read a great book on Jackson and it detailed the whole 1919 scandal with courtroom reports, too. This infamous encounter and dialogue with a kid on the courthouse steps never actually happened. Jackson and another person traveling together from court to a car after corroborated this didn’t happen. It was fabricated by the newspaper reporter to push the narrative of Jackson's involvement, which until his death he continually denied and his WS stats also proved his innocence, as did his acquittal.

I stand corrected.

I always prefer to sit down when corrected, which prevents getting whacked with a paddle on the behind.

This Joe Jackson photo to W514 card progression I found on the web nicely rebuts the previous hideous remark.

Was it a Conlon photo? I believe another board member did some research and discovered many of the images in the W514 set are from Conlon's.

Only other Jackson cards I am aware from the year of the Scandal (1919) are both virtually unavailable (Felix Mendlesohn and Playball notebook). any others out there

Not that I knew it previously, but it appears it is indeed a Conlon photo that was auctioned by REA a few years back, as seen in this link:

Yes sir, quite right!

These Jackson’s used to but under appreciated and under valued but in the last 18 months they have really exploded in price and keeps going up even while under prices on other players have slowed down. (Although the Wagner Portrait cards continue to go wild

I agree on both accounts. It’s nuts.

Interesting. What book? Thanks

[brunswickreeves]

This was a very good read.

Edited because I don’t want to comment on cards that are in live auctions.

His story seems to keep reaching more and more wide in time and people excited or hoping to add a playing years example. I must admit the intrigue gets me I like reading anything and everything pre war baseball history.
