1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson SGC 2

[ronniehatesjazz]

$42-44k is a good guess but it's so hard to tell with a card like this. Could easily see a bidding war push it north of $50k or even inline with the $63k or above. IMO the third best looking CJ across the 14-15 sets, just behind the Cobb and Matty (probably just my bias for big names over aesthetics)... a serious collector with deep pockets would love to add this one to the collection or perhaps, sadly, see it as an opportunity to flip down the road. Best Shoeless Joe card available.

I agree completely. I wouldn’t be surprised to see near 50k either. I went conservative due to auction ending time with holidays and the fact there is strong presence of Jackson represented in the auction. It will be exciting to watch.

This thread should be moved to the main forum where all proper discussions about ending auction prices on extremely expensive cards belong.

100% agree about the time of year being an issue but anything below $50k is a great buy IMO. Ive gotten some really great buys in December. This is one of my favorite cards, it absolutely beautiful.

Do you think the SGC hurts or helps the price, or does it have a neutral effect?

it seems like a split auction

many great cards seem low at this point but seems to low like the bidders are waiting till the final day and others like the 1916 Gimbel Ad back Jackson and the 2 Rookie Jacksons that seems to have a stronger price than I would have thought at this point.

I believe it will POP and be over $50K

I don’t think Sgc slab should effect an iconic prewar card at all tbh. I have my bid in on the card personally as well to a certain number to match my PSA copy. I hope it does well, but also wouldn’t be heartbroken to have it land in my home either haha.

I have a bid in as well and would be absolutely thrilled to snag it.

I cannot believe its not on the first page, its literally buried in the auction, lot number 940. I would be extremely frustrated if it were my card, IMO this should be on the first page in the top 25 lots!

I agree a top 10 iconic card. It’s strongly centered also with strong color.

Well, there's another set I won't be starting...

No doubt it’s a beast, but it is a 1915. I would say the 1914 (3x rarer than the 1915 and a year earlier), is a top ten iconic card.

I really like that the 1915 example has the caramel stains- very nice card/example. Good luck to all.

last few hours left and your prediction is holding up. its sitting at $40k w/ the BP. I wonder how many different bidders are a part of this 40 that have bid.
