"Shoeless" Joe Jackson is best known among casual fans as being a member of the Chicago White Sox his legend having grown enormous after his infamous banning from baseball following the investigation into White Sox members" throwing the World Series. Jackson broke in with Connie Mack"s A"s however and in 1910 was sent to Cleveland where he played for five and a half seasons before moving to Chicago. In fact some of Jackson"s best years were in Cleveland; he hit .408 in 1911 and .395 in 1912 arguably his two greatest seasons in the majors.Jackson is depicted here with Cleveland along with fellow great Nap Lajoie. The two made a formidable pair in 1913 with Jackson hitting .373 with 109 runs scored and 197 hits and Lajoie batting .335 with 68 RBI and a .398 on base percentage. Despite that the team finished just third in the AL behind the A"s and Senators.The card from the condition-sensitive T200 set is graded AUTHENTIC by SGC due to an apparent trim on one edge. The presentation is extremely strong however with just a single edge chip a clear image and little wear to the card surface.Few T200s have survived history in better than excellent condition; high-grade T200 sets are impossible. In lieu of this many collectors opt for the appearance of high grade and this card certainly qualifies. Perhaps the most attractive - and affordable - opportunity for many collectors to obtain Joe Jackson"s picture on a baseball card.Population DataSGC Population: 107 total graded 13 at this level 94 higherPSA Population: 124 total graded 2 at this level 122 higher
