I guess we will have to wait to hear your "NEW Ted Z" definition of major Tobacco & Candy sets….beyond 1911 this seems like what was available to the public for distribution…..and Jackson is present in a lot of them.

P.S. None of those are my cards yanked from REA, if one is yours I'm green with envy!

John- do you still have the scan of that T206 Jackson proof card from a few years ago? i think we pulled that out on April Fool's Day

[wonkaticket]

Too funny Mike was talking about that tonight with Jim R.

Here's the Jackson I made...funny the fake girls "April" photbucket is still there...LOL. Boy I got some classic emails from some folks with offers and from some big folks too.

Very Funny. Ahhh the good ol' days fo Net54. NYC dinners, Dial 777 limos for Bruce etc.

Now now boys lets all get along...

Since there were more marginal players/minor leaguers in the monster than the 48 southern leaguers, how come shoeless wasn't included in the 1910 printing of the monster?

Tim post is great but only addresses the spring 1909 but surely the monster was printed after that....jackson was a star in 1909 albeit a minor leaguer...
