There appears to be a horizontal wrinkle at the top of the card just above the 'Cracker Jack'. Perhaps this was enough to lower the boom on the grade for this boomtastic card.

Looks nicer than many high grade Jackson CJ's.

100%. The eye appeal is off the charts. It used to be in a SGC 2.5 slab also. I don't think the PSA grade of Fair / 1.5 is accurate. Looks like a true Good / 2 or 2.5 even with the upper crease.

The card may not look like that in hand. People just assume it will, but ain't necessarily so. Scans, especially at the settings auction houses use, can mask defects. Not saying it's intentional.

I don't think that's a crease. Looks to be some missing red ink during printing process. I think someone found other JJ's with similar marks. Either way, PSA has thoroughly screwed CJ grading from past grades to today's. It's completely F'd comps. This card would have received an easy 5+ if graded 10 years ago (hence price paid).

Good call AJ. I was wondering the same based on my recent research, There are other 1914 CJ SJJ cards w/ this. i do think SGC was closer to the true grade (2.5) than PSA (1.5). Jeremy will know once the card is in hand.

For example look at this PSA 6. Notice similar red ink snail trail at top and check out those bottom two corners. Make it make sense how there's a 4.5 grade difference between these two cards?
