Among the most esteemed Joe Jackson collectibles in existence is this glorious display card from the extremely rare 12-card Boston Garter window display series from 1914. On the face of this card Jackson captioned by name is shown in a dynamic batting pose above a sample of the garter manufacturer's product. As detailed on the item’s reverse retailers writing specifically on "business stationery" were the only individuals privileged to receive the cards. The black-printed reverse also includes a checklist for the entire 12-card set as well as Joe Jackson's fielding stats and incomparable batting averages through the 1913 season.
This specimen is one of only about a half dozen 1914 Boston Garter Joe Jackson cards know to have survived since their inception more than 100 years ago.From a condition standpoint the card has an overall GD appearance. Given its age and intended display purpose the card retains remarkably rich original color. A few scattered small creases are present as well as a 2-1/2 inch horizontal crease visible from the left border at Jackson’s front foot. Areas of minor soiling include a stain on the bottom border and a dark ½ inch stain on the right border that touches Jackson’s back foot. These faults individually or cumulatively do not significantly diminish the cards impressive overall presentation quality.
Encapsulated as “Authentic” by SGC the lack of a numerical grade is attributed to a small spot of glue (invisible to the naked eye) on the horizontal crease on the back of the card.The 1914 full-color Boston Garter cards are quite simply the rarest and most attractive of any baseball series from any era. This #6 entry the undisputed key to the legendary 12-card window display series is among the hobby’s most fabulous Joe Jackson period rarities.
