There was a pretty hilarious thread about this card in February of last year:
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=314960 My favorite comment: Originally Posted by Smarti5051 "Plot twist: Joe Jackson could not read or write. Maybe he saw a bunch of Babe Ruth autographed pictures and practiced trying to mimic the signature. So, when he is requested for an autograph, he just signs "Babe Ruth" thinking that is his own signature. It could explain why it is almost impossible to find a "Joe Jackson" autograph and why there are so many "Babe Ruth" autos out there." |

I wonder where he got it?? The same seller is also selling a Honus Wagner he found "while at work while demolishing old homes."

You guys are being way too tough. Remember, Joe Jackson never had any formal schooling, so I believe the autograph on the card is simply his uneducated attempt to spell his own name.

In this instance, I believe he (or a predecessor) subscribes to the old adage "You make your own luck."

Why would you say "You can't make this stuff up" when clearly the whole premise is that someone DID?

He's got the decimal in the wrong place. Seriously, I might buy it for $1.10 with free shipping.
