1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson #103

Love the red background with no problems in it, and also the overall sharpness of the card. Centering is the one and only dampener of eye appeal yet does not make too heavy a dent.

To my lone yet supremely intelligent eye, this Shoeless Joe is a rather pleasing example, as the salient flaw of centering impacts eye appeal with surprising grace, rather than becoming a severe distraction. Its other attributes serve to counteract the impact of its centering.

How does a card like this exist? No, really.

Great surface and color, only centering prevents the top level badges.

Centering and tilt distract from an otherwise beautiful copy.

The surface, color, and image are all ideal and command my eye. Centering is the lone eye appeal drawback here, to me. Knowing this card as I do, I anticipate few CJ Shoeless Joes will crack the top tier of eye appeal. This makes the cut on surface and color, and that is coming from someone for whom centering is a major determinant of eye appeal.

Stunning red background and image. Centering is the one thing that draws my eye.

High eye appeal on this classic of classics with centering my one and only issue with it. Would be thrilled to own this card!

Love the red background on these and it still pops on this card. Centering is off with some tilt and typical staining towards the top, but a very nice example of an iconic card.

Slightly off center and a slight tilt and those are seen and hold the card back from greatness But wow on how clean and bright the borders are and the Image and the colors both POP The Slab doctor needs new glasses Great card
