1909 JOE JACKSON AMERICAN CARAMEL BASEBALL CARD

[balkania05]

Hello e1,

Couple days ago I had the chance to buy the inventory from a guy who's grandfather had an antique store. After he died his wife brought everything home and stock all his stuff in the attic. All his inventory was there for the last 30 years. In one of the small boxes I've found many old baseball cards , some with Babe Ruth some with other players. This one in particular looks more interesting for me. Now I know of course a real one can bring lots of money. Monday or Tuesday I will try to find a card dealer to tell me his opinion. Using a magnifying glass you can see some sort of fibers same like the dollar banknotes. Need you opinion please. Thank you

If it's real and not a fake, it's from the E90-1 series, and yes, a valuable item.  But don't -- repeat, do not -- get the opinion of "a" card dealer.  Get the opinions and evaluations of many expert collectors.  There are very few left in this ghost town of a once-busy forum.  Sign in over at net54baseball and ask there.
