Steve....speaking about T202's....I find it very puzzling that Joe Jackson was not featured in the 1912 T202 set ? ?

What's your explanation of this omission ?

Steve....the anti-trust divestiture applied to ATC.... not ALC.

Jackson not being in T202 is something I could only guess at. And it wouldn't be a guess I'd have a lot of confidence in. Probably something to do with money or some other contract issue.


I did mean ATCs breakup. With the breakup being negotiated and sometimes no solid idea exactly what was happening they may have been hesitant to run a promotion that might have to be recalled or cancelled altogether, perhaps even before it could be released.

What did get issued in the later parts of 1911 was probably what they'd already committed to buy from ALC.

Hi Leon

Yep, I hesitated showing my T202 card of " Jackson sliding " in the centerfold since it has become such a controversial subject....anyhow here it is.






Personally, I think it is Joe Jax in this T202 centerfold (the backdrop is without a doubt Cleveland Stadium and the facial features, especially the ears,
are those of Jackson's).
