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

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I don't doubt it's the same play but it's definitely not the same photo.

Don't recall posing during this thread's lifetime and surprised to see it back. Apologies for not reviewing the thread to see at what length this was already discussed, but ...

I know I wasn't that invested in either the card or the outcome, other than as a curiosity - and still am not - but looking at it more closely now, I can't even believe its the same play in the same game.

First, the 3rd baseman's foot positioning is so different (right foot in front/to right of the bag on the card, but behind the bag on newspaper photo) and
Second ... his uniform/sock don't appear to match. Even if you stretch your imagination and call what you see in the newspaper photo 'washed out', to make it the (clearly) dark/black seen on the card... you can't then say the black/'darker than the uniform' in the top half of the sock (newspaper) matches the white top half of the sock (card). Similar problems exist ex[plaining away the discrepancies in the shortstop, but I'll defer any further comments at this point.

I seem to recall that the image was more conclusive during the thread's original run (and can't be bothered to go find it), but with this image, its a no go for me. Not saying its not JJ on the card, just that this evidence does not seal anything for me.

Just my irrelevantly late couple of centavos.

Interesting article but doesn't have a definitive answer about the mystery runner. Several Heritage Lots reference Jackson on the T202 Tannehill Lord card. A lot of eBay Lots do too. Not that I put any stock into eBay.
