What is the value of a Shoeless Joe Jackson signed baseball?

Answer 1

A "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Single signed Baseball has a "book Value" of about $25,000.-$40,000.

Throw the "book" away on this one, the Shoe doesn't fit.

A Joe Jackson signature is perhaps the scarcest in all of sports. Part of the legend of Joe Jackson is that he was illiterate, and could not even sign his name. The fact was Jackson could sign his name, but was very reluctant to do so, and rarely signed except when absolutely necessary, usually on legal documents.

This did not stop autograph seekers from requesting Jackson's signature by mail, and when these occasional requests came in they were honored by Mrs. Jackson, who would sign Joe's name for him. Signature request signed by Joe's wife usually on index cards or alike sized pieces of paper sell for about $200.-$1,000.

The very few signatures that I found mostly appear on documents. A Joe Jackson Signed Recognizance Bond from the Barry Harper collection, sold for $44,062.50

I also found a Shoeless Joe Jackson/Buck Weaver Signed Baseball that sold for $69,000. (The only known example of its kind)

If you are looking for a Joe Jackson Signed baseball, forget it. You will have an easier time finding his "Shoes" If you have one. Please contact me with pictures. Below I will leave a link to samples of Autographs with the likes of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig and others.
