Default Not to beat a dead horse, but is this Shoeless Joe too?
I mentioned this in the other thread and it was mentioned briefly in posts by a few other members, but did not receive enough attention to satisfy my curiosity. Obviously there has been plenty of discussion and posts on the T202 Lord/Tannehill that (possibly) depicts Jackson sliding in to third.

I have the same question about the T202 Baker/Collins "Baker Gets His Man" card. Is it Joe in this picture? I am not almost positive or certain or anything of the like, but I do see a resemblance to Joe and the Lord/Tannehill card. What is your opinion?

I will also add a poll to gauge some sort of statistic for the muddled opinions that might follow.

Please understand that I am simply asking here, I have no certainty and I am not claiming anything as 100% correct.

That's definitely Joe's butt. You can tell by the dirt on his pants from his last slide...not sure what he's doing coaching third.

Take Care,
Geno

Please,

I was not asking for sarcasm. I just wanted peoples' honest opinion on the image of the baserunner. If you could supplement your vote in the poll with reasoning here below I would appreciate it!

I think everyone is to burnt out on the last T202 to even think about it. I would do what Greg did and start looking for that photo !!

Default re: that was very funny
Although that runner could be Joe and I realize the poster was serious, Geno's post made me laugh so hard I spilled my drink, and it was grape juice, I have a white shirt..it was worth it!

I feel very confident that this is not Shoeless Joe. The Nap in this photo doesn't have the thin, gangly build of Joe.

Here's a blow-up of the picture:

What was the opinion on Schaefer on First (Mcbride/milan)? That guy has the same sock...what could make it clearer than that?

To me this one looks more like Ivy Olson or somebody else other than Joe. When I discovered Joe on the other card it was because every time I looked at the set it just struck me as him without having to over-think it, but that's not the case with this one or any of the other Cleveland player center panels.

Update: The "Schaffer On First" card also appears to feature Joe (and is the only other one in the set besides "Lord Catces His Man"), but I don't believe the card listed above is.

Default It'd have to be Franken-joe
Looks like the head on the Nap runner was added to somebody else's body . . . it's tiny. Not a lot bigger than his hand in the picture. The A's players look "normal."

Default maybe he will chime in
We have a brand new member of Net54baseball.com that is an expert on Joe Jackson. Maybe he will chime in for us?

Mike N- you out there?

Under the loop, it has been ascertained that Jesus Christ is holding a beer in the center field bleachers. This is the only known issue of Jesus and promises to be your last chance to own a card of "the fisher of men" at this price point.
