See if we can name all of them. I only recognize two (pathetic, I know!). Walter Johnson, second from the left. And that old familiar scowl of Cobb third from the right (back row). Is that Cy Young next to him on his right?

Nope, thats Buck Weaver just right of Cobb. Do you see Joe Jackson in the picture? Ill give you a hint that he is on the top row.

I’m gonna say Shoeless Joe is just to the left of the dude in the suit (our vantage point). If not, it’s gotta be the guy to the right of Cobb. If it’s not one of the guys with the big “S” for Black Sox then I give up!

This is correct. Joe Jackson is pictured immediately to the left of Connie Mack. Cobb is sandwiched between Ray Chapman on the left and Buck Weaver on the right.

Your history of baseball is remarkable. Did you notice Joe isn’t wearing any socks? He actually has his shoes on for once, but he’s wearing no socks! He couldn’t even get his wardrobe together for the first all-star game!

That looks like Hughie Jennings next to WaJo, and Tris Speaker seated between the top and bottom rows.

what's your asking price?

Hi

Ideally it would be part of a trade for an early Babe ruth.
But I would sell to flip that to buy an early Babe ruth.
Anyone interested can message me

Here is my cup of tea as it relates to Joe Jackson memorabilia. It satisfies my photo and card lust and is insanely rare. It is a Type 1 Charles Conlon photo used for his playing days w514 baseball card. It is an amazing piece and one of the very best known original Type 1 photos of Joe Jackson.

I have often wondered about the extreme value of Joe Jackson cards. If there had been no Black Sox and Jackson had kept playing, one could reasonably assume he had 5-8 years left in his career at some fair high value. He probably gets 3000 hits (although not a lock, since he was 33 in 1920, which is not that young). He hits into the live ball era, which might morph his stats a little. My guess is that when all is said and done, he probably has numbers that look similar to Tris Speaker's, with a few more triples and a few less doubles. While Speaker cards are not dirt cheap, they certainly don't command Joe Jackson value, or even close. Is that about what we would expect for Jackson if he had a normal end to his career?

Imagine if Cobb and Speakers bans held up too? Cobbs cards are already at the height of the hobby. But tack on a ban too and what would the cost be for a Green Portrait?
