All I own is a beautiful mid-1990s MegaCards Charles Conlon color card of Joe as an Indian, and feel glad I own that.

Zero. Even the game and strip cards are astronomical for a regular persons collection. I would be surprised if you told me more than a handful of people started a Joe Jackson collection and added multiple cards in the last year.

I think there are 4 or 5 Jackson playing days cards TOTAL on ebay. Whoever the people are hoarding them are really not helping hobbyists.

I don't think it's hoarding per say. I think there are literally just not that many playing days cards out there. Also, in a subtext of hoarding, if you have just one that you bought a decade or more back...it stays due to the difficulty of replacement at today's cost.

I have only owned a single Joe Jax playing days card in 40+ years of collecting which I sold. I don't think I will likely ever have another.

The only one I have is a T-200 of the Cleveland Naps so I love when people share their cards I could never have.

I have 11 but I am a Jackson Addict. But it is tough to have alot of his cards since he is not as many sets as other players in part because he was banned. In addition with low supply, high demand it means even the cheaper cards are no longer cheap so many collectors get priced out. Even the Fatima Team Card of his is not cheap anymore

I own 6 Joe Jackson items, 3 of which are minor league items, all pictured below (I used to own two other m101-4/5s but traded them).

I don�t think many people own many Joe items because (1) very few exist / just not many cards/items of Joe Jax, and (2) what cards he does have tend to be expensive to super-expensive.

I don�t think Joe Jackson is, at large, a �most collected� player. However, I do think his items are top 10 (maybe top 5) �most coveted�

Well you obviously got most of the top ones!

You obviously got some of his best ones in nice collectible condition.

I think 10 guys or more identified him as one of the most collected players on the other thread, which is why I started the poll to see if that really was so as I was very doubtful. As the OP I should mention I own these two, if you call these cards LOL.

Great minds, Peter! I do call them cards and those are the two I have!

I do find it interesting as some people don't think they're cards. Not sure I get it as it is a baseball player and it is a card. One of these days I do hope to add an e90-1 but that may be a ways off!!

In my uneducated experience they are cards (just as we now treat Postcards as cards)

and you both have a nice set of both the 1913 and the 1914.

Casey2296 · #18 06-15-2023, 05:21 PM

Ryan, I never get tired of seeing your T210 Jackson.

Exhibitman · #19 06-15-2023, 05:29 PM

None for me. I know it is practically N54 heresy, but I am not interested in any cards of Jackson. I believe that Jackson was dirty, and a perjurer to boot.
