Shoeless Joe Jackson – 1909 American Caramel
The Shoeless Joe Jackson version is quite similar to that of Honus Wagner, whose cards were printed by the American Caramel Company. Their ulterior motive seemed to be a sales tactic to boost their cigarette sales. However, his name and story have been slow out on baseball’s back burner due to allegations he was involved in the 1919 Chicago Black Sox gambling incident. Jackson’s cards are still worth a fortune as an auction in 2016 raised over $660,000 for a good condition card.
