Not sure about that PSA 9 Mathewson from the Harris Collection.

The Mathewson doesn't appear undersized, but I suppose any card from the Harris collection is suspect.

Any T206 in a 9 holder is at least worthy of very close scrutiny, in my opinion. As is any E90-1 in an 8 or higher.

I find the Kendrick accumulation boring. Yes, a few pristine examples of rare cards....but no love there. I can look and appreciate a group of low grade cards over and over again and never tire of them. I suspect Kendrick rarely even thinks of his. I think he "buys the holder" not the card.
Also as mentioned...The 49 Duke of Flatbush seems out of place. And some of those cards look trimmed to me. Dave. Now for the real fun...I'm off to the Joey thread!

Snider might be in the grouping because he could be a favorite of Kendrick. Like a childhood hero or something. Did Kendrick pick the cards or the Hall?

I have no basis for this, just speculating.

Great cards, though I am a bit surprised to see Duke Snider's card listed along with those other cards.

Adrian, My Bro', you would like to own the grade condition and not the actual aesthetics of the image? A really great pose but Jackson's face is kind of, I dunno, indistinct? With ultimate respect to anyone who owns an E90-1 Jackson (and I wouldn't turn one down) you would do better with a CJ Jackson in a lesser grade.

Amazing cards...despite the fact they are practically new...I prefer handled cards myself!!!

regarding the joe jackson e90-1...you can put lipstick on a pig...er I mean e90-1 joe jackson...but it'll still be a pig!

[Zone91]

That bad guys!!! I will never own a Jackson that high but either this year (most likely in a few months) or early next year I will for sure buy one graded a 2. The problem will be finding one when I will be ready to make a deal....they do not come up that often above 1's.

I'm not a cracker jack guy, but a cj jackson would be nice.
The e90-1 jackson is a great card when the registration is on and the lavendar color background is bright.
Overall I would prefer a e90-1 jackson.

Silk purse out of a sow's ear? I actually had a dentist tell me that when I was 19, many decades ago. I'm still a sow.
