Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig were much bigger names and more popular players DURING their playing careers and big time media superstars...Joe Jackson was not...yes he was popular but not on their level...IF the Black Sox scandal had not happened Joe Jackson would not be very well known today and his cards would be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper...if he made the HOF they would be more valued yes, but still not like Cobb or Ruth...I will stand in the "his cards are over valued" corner based on infamy and mostly bc of pop culture.
