Description

1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson #103 SGC 84 NM 7. It was 1915, the year that this gorgeous card rolled off the assembly line, that saw one the game's greatest hitters ever, traded from Cleveland to Charles Comiskey's Chicago squad. A bitter pill for Cleveland fans as Jackson was batting a robust .327 when traded and averaged .371 in the five years he spent playing for the tribe. Very few players truly transcend the game. Immortalized here is the legend of Joe Jackson. Here he still wears the cap of Cleveland, his trusty Black Betsy gripped tightly in his calloused farm boy hands, emblazoned against the scarlet background of this beautiful issue. The eye appeal of this card is stunning in every detail, just as the folks at Cracker Jack had envisioned when they produced these astonishing specimens, the most aesthetically pleasing baseball card set of all time. In close to the same condition as it was the day it was produced and glowing in all aspects, the technical grade ranks SGC 84 NM 7 because of some slight corner tip wear at one corner - the other three are sharper and some mild product staining on the reverse. Visual display is impressive thanks to the three NM+ quality corners, tight print registration, and bright, bold coloring.
