A RARE 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1 Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie card was proudly sold by us here at Just Collect during the National Sports Collectors Convention. The new owner is taking Shoeless Joe home to South Carolina  for the town of Greenville to see!

Shoeless Joe Jackson is famously known for being a member of the 1919 Black Sox scandal where his team, the Chicago White Sox, threw the World Series. All eight players associated with the fix were banned from baseball for life! Jackson's involvement has always been in question; he set a World Series record with 12 hits and hit the only home run in the series. Until his death, Jackson maintained his innocence, stating he played to win the series. Shoeless Joe cards are highly desirable and coveted in the hobby!

From 1909-11, American Caramel released a set consisting of 120 cards, each measuring 1.5" x 3.75". The borders are white and the backgrounds are beautiful colors while each player is an artist rendition; the set is similar to the 1909-11 T206 set. While there are several Hall of Famers included in the set such as Ty Cobb and Cy Young, the KEY card is the Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie card!

Just Collect owner, Leighton Sheldon, brought his E90-1 American Caramel Shoeless Joe to the National. The treasure was placed for sale in our booths, 301 and 303. Matt, owner of Bryan Sports Cards in Greenville, South Carolina, saw the card and knew he had to own it!

Shoeless Joe Jackson was born in Pickens County, South Carolina. Matt's card shop is close to where Jackson was born! The Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum & Baseball Library is also located in Greenville. This card was meant to be Matt's.

After working out a deal to sell the card to Matt, Leighton asked what he was going to do with the card. Matt is going to display the card at his shop for all to see -  a piece of baseball history! 

Thank you for your story, Matt, and we're excited to have completed a deal with you at the National. 

Here is a video of Matt and Leighton talking about the card:
