1909 E90-1 Joe Jackson value compared to others

[investinrookies]

With this issue being his true rookie card and having a PSA pop of only 92, it’s a rare and important card in the hobby. When I look at the value of some other key pre-war cards, this one seems way under-valued comparably speaking. I know some sets are more iconic or collected than others so that could be part of it. I’m just interested in others thoughts on the value and status of this card in the hobby.

While it may be a Joe Jackson, it's not particularly attractive. Nor, would I call it rare, SGC has graded 79, along with PSA's 92, there are certain to be well over 200+ of them in existence, perhaps more. Both of these could hold it back from achieving a higher price level.

it's quite significant in the cosmetics circles. I believe this lipstick shade Joe is sporting influenced womens' lipstick colors well into the 20's.

But seriously... compared to the value of many even more rare cobb rookies...joe jax seems kinda spendy to me???

the black sox multiplier is real!!!!

Hi,

To some the Joe Jackson Rookie Card does not have the eye appeal as other cards.
But to many it is a nice looking card.

I believe the card is under valued and under appreciated.

The Rookie Card is not that rare and you can usually find a couple on ebay for sale.

However, I believe part of the reason that the Prices are low is mostly that the higher grade cards are low in population (MOST of the population is below a 2.

But more importantly almost all that come up for sale are both low grade and most do not have a nice eye appeal. thus keeping the price down

On the private Market the prices for the higher end ones are pretty solid. I have had many strong offers also on my card.

There was a PSA 8 went pre pandemic for over $650K
Robert Edwards had a PSA 1.5 with what look like a crease left to right just below the "A" on his uniform and it went for $31K in April

There is an SGC 3 Joe Jackson on Love of the Game Auction now and it is at $34K ($40K with Buyers Premium) with approx 1 week to go. So should have a strong final price and can help set the market price.

So yes population between SGC and PSA is fairly large and they do come often for sale but the cards above a 2 come up less often and go for what I believe is some strong prices.

I’d be interested to hear specifically what cards it is undervalued compared against. Who has a comparable rookie going for more or similar that shouldn’t?

Personally, I think Jackson is heavily overvalued in general. A Cracker Jack Speaker sells for a fraction of a Cracker Jack Jackson, for example. People pay a fat bonus for anyone part of the Black Sox bad guys, and this card in particular. It doesn’t even look like Jackson.

I believe he is talking about Rookie Cards. As Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig all go for alot more as rookie cards card to Joe Jacksons Rookie.
And you are right it does not look like him. But most cards in the E90-1 Series do not look like very much like the players listed as.
