Joe Jackson

That can't be said about almost everybody else, right? You know, and, and if I were a vintage guy, there are only a few vintage cards that I think have that, you know, that we're gonna talk about it.

I love Jeremy Lee's Cracker Jack Joe Jackson card.

Why? We're not talking about Joe Jackson as one of the greats, but he is a story.

The card is a story.

It was found in a box of Cracker Jacks and preserved for 115 years.

It is a beautiful card in beautiful, you know, eye appeal version of it.

But then you have Joe Jackson, who was part of the Black Sox, throwing the World Series.

They've made movies about it.

It's, it's more stressful to me to spend cards on it, on this card, than it is to spend money because, uh, I love my cards that I own now.

And I'm still, I'm still sort of recovering from the Joe Jackson maneuver because that, you know, those f- out of 330 cards, the last 25 or 30 were impossible decisions to make.

Well, now I have to go past that if I'm going to use cards to get into another card.

I could spend the money, I guess, but it's, it's, it's more than I really wanna spend on a card right now.

Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, and interest...

I mean, 'cause I went through this exercise, but it would be a lot harder for me to do it now, now that I have consolidated into one, just like what you've done, right? That was, Joe Jackson was what, a year ago? Little over a year ago?

Little under half.

That Ruth could read an automobile license signed two blocks away.

Really? You must have seen Joe Jackson play, too.

He was a great hitter.

Wasn't a real good outfielder, but he was a good hitter.

Now there's Claude Williams.

He's no dumbbell.

There was only a couple of fellas that were really morons on that club and that was Happy Felsen and Joe Jackson.

Gando retired the next year and never went back to baseball.

Everything came together, and, uh, and now it's...

Now the question, David, is like, what's next? Because you've got your, your dr- I, I mean, after I got my Joe Jackson, I felt like every card I buy afterwards h- is com- is, has to like compare to that one.

It like, it has to be worthy of joining the collection that that card is in.

Now, a year and a half has gone by, and I've lowered my standards [laughs] quite a bit-

Did you feel that way after Cracker Jack?

What's that?

Did you feel that way after you ended up getting the Joe Jackson? Like, uh, that you did not need to buy a card for like a while? While-

Yeah
