I've seen other players from the set but I hadn't seen this one:

Amazing card

Just wondering what other board members think, but looking at the bat in the photo on the Felix Mendelsohn Joe Jackson card, which Goldin states is THE Black Betsy, and I agree it is, looks very different than the "Black Betsy Bat" the was auctioned off for over $500K.

Look at the thickness in the handle, and the bat on the Mendelsohn card looks like a two toned color. The other bat is one color throughout.

Any thoughts?

I dont think there was just one Black Betsy. Unless it was made of titanium. I dont think there were 100 but I think there were quite a few.

I don't know about quite a few but no doubt there were some Black Betsy's.....And about this M101-6 Jackson, what an awesome card. If I didn't have any fiscal responsibilities I would be all over it. But I do, so I will just watch....

And as to the question in the first post, from 5 yrs ago, here is one on the list and I know there is at least one more Successful Farming Promo card. My question would then be, are there ANY Successful Farming non-Promo Joe Jacksons known? (the promo cards had no number on the front, at bottom)

Wow so cool to see one of my posts from ages ago bumped up :-)

Leon, is that Successful Framing yours? It is quite nice and with a cool back, certainly one of the more exciting backs with that front.

That card is one-of-a-kind, but so is the description. It has eclipsed all past auction descriptions, especially in its handling of wear to a card:

"While this image is fantastic, this card does contain multiple creases, most which are restricted to the corners and do not intersect Jackson�s image. The first is a 1-1/2 inch crease across the upper left corner, not touching the Betsy, but close enough to appear as a bolt of lightning flowing into the bat, similar to the lightning flashes caused by Roy Hobbs� the �Savoy Special� in the Natural."
