Graded VG 3 by PSA. Presented is an outstanding, mid-grade example of one of the classics in all of card collecting: the extremely rare and desirable E90-1 American Caramel card of the legendary Joe Jackson. This card of Jackson is one of only a handful of him issued during his playing days and is indisputably recognized as his rookie card. It is also one of the rarest in the E90-1 set. In recent years the E90-1 American Caramel Joe Jackson has become recognized as one of card collecting's most valuable and famous vintage-card rarities. Jackson was always a very rare card in the E90-1 set, but in recent years it has become all the more apparent that this card is truly the key to the set. A few sets of E90-1 have been offered in recent years, but more often than not they are actually sets minus one card: Jackson. This card dates from extremely early in Jackson’s career, when he was a member of Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics. Jackson played only ten games with the Athletics before Mack traded him to Cleveland. Two small vertical creases extending from the bottom border account for the assigned grade. Very few E90-1 Jackson cards exist in high grade. VG condition for an E90-1 Jackson is statistically much more significant than VG condition for a T205 or T206. This is a superb example of one of card collecting's legendary rarities.
