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

Not so fast, Brett. Mark is an expert in this area, and what he is saying should be given very strong consideration. There is a psychological aspect to this, as he points out. To paraphrase Paul Simon, a man sees what he wants to see. I think there is a very good chance it is Jackson, but it has not been established beyond a reasonable doubt, to my mind. The face is grainy and fuzzy, we can't see the eyes, and we can't see the hair.

Also, a little modesty would be in order.

Great research and info from everybody ! Still a few holes in the bucket that just won't hold the water but a great adventure so far !

That's the problem with "experts"... they're never willing to admit when they're wrong. I didn't "want" to see anything and wouldn't give a rat's ass if it weren't Joe. If anything, for whatever reason your expert is still trying to stick to his guns and convince people that it may not be when it is. Sorry about my cockiness, but modesty went out he window when I was all but proven right about 150 posts ago. When the top Joe Jackson expert on the planet just enhanced the card and said he has "NO DOUBT" that it's Joe then that's good enough for me. By the way, I already own other Joe Jackson cards and my life would still be complete if I didn't own another... But it just so turns out that I do!

You have to be 100% for them to admit you are right, even if you are 99% sure it stills leaves a 1% chance you are wrong.
