Question about 1916 M101-4 Sporting News Joe Jackson
 

I have a few questions about this card.
How rare is it?
What does this card sell for in 1-3 grade?
Is it hard to find one to buy?
And what are yalls thoughts about this card?
If you have pics please post them!

Depending on the back it can be not very rare to extremely rare or one of a kindish.

Usually they pop up in the VG range and sell for 5-8K. There was a very nice one with a skinned back that I believe sold in the 3K+ range. I would expect around 4-5K for a VGish one and it is hard to find one in lesser grade. I see more 7 then 2 on this card.

There are generally several in auctions over the course of the year, but I haven't seen to many for direct sale.

It's Jackson, so many will feel it's over priced. It's his classic image on a black and white card so it's somewhat iconic in that way. It is probably the most afforable playing era none game card.

Personally as a Jackson collector, it is the most available unless you are concerned with the back then it becomes a bit harded. I have been looking for a Boston Store Jackson for 2-3 years and have only seen 1 for sale and that was late last year. I have probably seen 15-25 various Sporting news Jackson's in that same time frame.

As a side note, I find that this card is often off center or has a diamond cut, which is another reason I still don't own one as I haven't found a nicely centered one for a price I liked.
