Ok but that was ages ago. I see it as out of sight out of mind, there hasn't been a movie about Jackson in what 20 years, so to say a movie is driving the prices up today I don't think is fair.

The true questions come when you ask people under 20 years old if they know who he is, they likely weren't born when Field of Dreams or Eight Men out was in the theaters, so are they aware of him and if so why? If the answer is because of one of those movies and as such they are seeking out his cards then there would be a valid point, if not I can't really see it being directly related.

Default Shoeless Joe Overrated!
I completely agree with the OP. He is overrated and I think every one on this board agrees. So....

I want to be generous, so out of the kindness of my heart, if you have any of his cards, I'll take them off your hands. I figure they may be worth 1/10 or even lower the vcp/cardtarget/beckett/psa value, so I am willing to pay that right now.

Any takers?

Really, I am doing you a favor...

All good points, I agree with many, now next question what would a Jackson T206 be worth if one exsisted? ? ? ? ?

I hear that they are still finding cards in attics under dollhouses in Ohio. Maybe he had a T206 SL New Orleans card that has yet to surface.

BTW, great Pelicans photo, Leon. I try to search for Pelicans stuff on ebay, but get hundreds of entries for NBA gear.

Hey, the 100 year anniversary of the Black Sox series is just around the corner, imagine how much publicity that might draw. Good chance that another movie surfaces at that time? Imagine what that might do to the Shoeless Joe legend...........

I think we're making the same point James. Perhaps I should have been more clear, but the point of my last sentence in my post was: his legacy was well established within the collecting and baseball historian communities long before the movies were released. Because of this, I don't believe the prices on Jackson cards would be any different today if the movies did not exist. However, I do think there are some casual observers (general public) who are now more aware of him as a result of the movies.

Cheers,

Tragically, Joe Jackson had the third highest lifetime BA (.356) but he never won a batting title. He barely led the league in any stats (triples a few times, hits a couple of times). I'm not saying he was a terrible player but he really wasn't on the same level as some of the all time greats.

Relative to other players, his cards always had a premium associated with them, before the Field of Dream movies. Yes, his cards have sky rocketed but then again, so have a lot of other cards of other players.

Joe Jackson would have had even better stats, probably the best ever, if he had only had these.........................

Have seen the movie several times and barely remember the Shoeless Joe character. So doubt the movie had much of any effect on his card value.

This does bring up a general question.....Has any movie bumped up the value of a players' card or his memorabilia, aside from probably members of the Chicago Black Sox scandal (Eight Men Out) and Moonlight Graham (Field of Dreams) ? Monty Stratton story ? Eddie Waitkus (The Natural) ?

"42" seems to have a had a big effect on the price of J Robinson's cards.
