Rare Shoeless Joe Jackson autograph

[packs]

The same one? I found only one other listing of a 1919 ball from a Legendary auction in 2000 but it lists Gleason and Risberg as being on the sweet spot.

If memory serves me correctly, a Net54 board memory actually did find a very rare five figure mid 1800s salt print photo of baseball pioneers in a barn or similar building. He had recently purchased the land and was refurbishing the building. The photo was unsigned. The photo was real and museum quality, and, in that case, barn provenance didn't add anything to the value. If anything it would have subtracted, with most collectors preferring something more glamorous and historical. Only with modern fakes does having been "found in grandma's cabinet drawer" (the old baseball card cliche) or "back of a garage next to a pile of empty paint cans" add to the resale value. If a genuine 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb or Old Judge Cap Anson card was really discovered in a grandmother's cabinet, I'd bet $5 the experienced seller wouldn't mention the provenance it at sale or say "No, seriously. I'm seriously not kidding you."

well a binder-ful of e300s were found in the trash can, and hundreds of pristine e98s were kept in tincans, so anything can happen. i would hope PSA would be extra careful when this hoard with joe jax/matty/lajoie pristine photos/sigs came into their lap. this wouldn't be just grad's job, hope he'd be consulting keating and their photo expert etc.

and shelly the ruths you are speaking of were in REA right? the ones that were signed for the movie star and authenticated by JSA? i don't remember were those pulled? i thought rob rolls with his authenticator and leans on their "expertise"(which is spence).

Yes REA and psa did authenticate them.
What I found insulting is that they take them down and never say psa made a mistake.

The same ball, but I can't find it. I also cannot find the one you are describing.

The only Jackson-signed ball I could find that looked even halfway possible is this one off the Jackson website.
