Jackson cards have always been expensive. I don't think there was any real effect. Moonlight did have a bit of a resurgence though. There was a card issued by his historical society...I remember getting a couple which I still suspect are available... Somebody cleaned out Chisholm Mn of Moonlight Graham autographs several years ago..they sell for quite a bit though you might expect that a doctor would have signed his name a lot of times.
BTW, if you have not read the book Shoeless Joe, it's worth it. A couple of interesting differences from the movie.
