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

[T206Collector]

I think it's more than likely Say-It-Ain't-So Joe. If I had one, I'd be trying to persuade SGC or PSA to put "Joe Jackson" on the flip. For then, you would maximize the value of the card you are in such a rush to sell.

Moreover, if I had one and was sure it was Joe and wanted to sell it, I would wait until word of this discovery became a hobby staple, fully accepted by all. For then, the demand would be at its highest.

Now, you've stirred up demand, but if you're right, demand will grow by word of mouth.

Just peculiar to me that the thread starter is in such a rush to sell. But to each his own.

Fair enough. Please just understand that it was less of a "rush to sell" as it was a matter of MANY people here asking me to sell it until I figured "okay, let's all find out together what it's worth to somebody" (hence the title of my post "let the experiment begin"). All of a sudden people started attacking my character and integrity like I was Dick Cheney or something.

Brett- If I had listed it on ebay I would have worded it differently. I would have acknowledged what appears to be a new hobby discovery, would have mentioned that advanced collectors are still studying the image and making their determinations, and then stated that it is up to each bidder to determine his level of confidence regarding whether it is in fact Jackson. And it's fine to state that you feel 100% certain it's him.

That also covers you against any problems in the future if the winning bidder suddenly decides he is not sure who is in the picture. Again, that's just one way to do it.

I don't have the time to read through 53 pages of posts..... so if I missed some compelling evidence - forgive me.

In my opinion -
that could be just about anyone on that team sliding into third. anyone.

If you change the viewing of number of posts per page, you could get it down to only 14 pages

I've got my settings at the max of 80 posts per page. I can get through this in only 7 pages!

Joe I personally feel post #361 with #405 are compelling evidence that the newspaper photo and T202 photo were taken during the same play. If you believe that statement is true than the T202 photo is Joe.

Where's Jim C. to turn this into a political discussion?

[tedzan]

Hey Brett

If you are going to inject your "LIBERAL" politics into this fray....it will certainly bring this thread to a sudden end.

Which should have occurred 400 posts ago !

Joe D. It is Jackson, I'm pretty convinced of that.

Ted Z. I'm not sure you can characterize someone as "LIBERAL" just because he makes a comment about Dick Cheney.

How do you know I'm not ultra-conservative and just using Cheney as an example of somebody who was unfairly criticized? Please tell me all-knowing one. Also, if you think this thread should have ended 400 posts ago why are you still here?

pretty cool stuff. That is compelling evidence.

Good enough for me. I go with Steve (and others).


cool stuff.

A couple of quick questions Brett. If you didn't know you had a second copy, as you claim, how is it that "MANY" other people here knew to email you and ask you to sell it to them? Are "MANY" other people keeping better track of your inventory than you are?

And, what's wrong with Dick Cheney?



(Note - The previous questions were asked with my tongue firmly imbedded in my cheek.)

Because mid-way through this thread I started looking through old stuff and I stumbled upon it. At that point I immediately mentioned it here and that's when all the pivate messages started. Here's the exact post I made 4 days and 300 posts ago when somebody joked that I was probably sitting on a stack of these cards...

Hahaha, I swear on my mother that I didn't start this thread for self-serving reasons. In the spirit of full disclosure I do have 2 of these. One of them is in my complete set and the other I have no plans to do anything with (I have a lot of doubles in this set).
