Here are two with the New Orleans Pelicans, one with the Greenville Spinners, one with the Athletics and one with Chicago

I believe his rookie “card” is the E90-1 bc that is the first picture of him alone on a pro team. However, the T210 is truly one of the most desirable and rarest Joe Jackson cards, and I think, one of the top 10 baseball cards in the hobby.

The Spinner Cabinet is the oldest image I have of Joe; it was on the Spinners where he received his nickname “shoeless Joe”

great items Ryan. If you ever want to trade that Cabinet Photo or the Pennant Winner we can talk..

And at some point I will be attempting to get one of those for my collection

BTW- the E90–1 Jackson is so difficult to find in nice condition. So many are diamond cut, or off center, or total beat up, or the red lips appear somewhere else on the face, including sometimes acting as a red mustache. I feel like many E90–1s suffer from these defects/issues, but I feel like Jackson suffers the most.

Don’t forget the M113. Tough to find in great condition. Not sure what year the Jackson is from, probably 1913.

Wish that I still had this one.

I'm glad somebody posted the m113, thank you Paul.

There are least 3 variations of the Jackson m113, each with distinctly different captions (among the most obvious differences are the 'J' in his name).

I believe that the first was released in Sept 1912, and the other two came later, presumably as more were needed. I believe that yours was a later printing (and it's in way better condition than mine, so if you get bored of it, let me know).

Here are what I believe to be the first printing, and closeups of the three known caption variations :
