The crown jewel of the Southern Fairway Find this is one of two examples of the legendary T210 OldMill Joe Jackson card yielded from a modest cache of scarce 8th Series cards from of the distinctive1910 minor league tobacco issue. Jackson is pictured as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans beforethe start of his extraordinary and tragic baseball career. A year after this card was produced Shoeless Joewould burst on the major league scene in 1911 by belting .408 in his first full season with Cleveland. His.356 lifetime average would have automatically guaranteed him a spot in the Hall of Fame were it not forhis involvement in the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal that would usurp his legacy.
Conservatively graded FR PSA 1.5(MK) this card is extremely well centered with eye appeal that appearsinconsistent with the label it shares encapsulation with. The image of Jackson is rendered with crystalclarity. Both the front and back are relatively clean with most of the red border along the front edges intact. Corners show honest wear to a degree of about fair-good overall. The reason for the (MK) qualifierare 3/8 tall impressions of numbers 8 and 11 that appear to have been written at one time on thecard which are now only indentations. The background location of these marks provides little distraction.Although graded a half a notch lower with a qualifier this well centered beauty actually displays muchbetter than the GD 2 example that sold in our November sale for over $96000 from this same source. Abaseball card treasure of the highest order this beautiful T210 Joe Jackson card is being introduced to thehobby here for the first time.
