Lot #8 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy Shoeless Joe Jackson Cond: PSA Authentic Altered

Offered is an extremely desirable card of the one and only Shoeless Joe Jackson. A card that hardly ever comes to market, these were issued in California by the Collins McCarthy Candy company. A trophy card of Shoeless Joe, our consignor obtained this in the 1980s and this has been in a safety deposit box until now. The offered card we believe received the Authentic Altered grade due to slight clipping of the bottom two corners (this was not done to deceive, rather many old timer collectors could not get the cards to fit properly in the very limited types of plastic sheets in this era and made adjustments). The offered card has a perfect image of Jackson in his dark White Sox uniform standing with a bat on his shoulder. The front of the card has no visible creasing, even under magnification. Centered to the right border, there is slight wear on the right edge, the borders are clean, the card displays well. The back of the card has some subtle scraping, likely from wear, but are not certain. There is almost zero paper loss and this also displays nicely. A very solid card despite the disclosed condition issues, who wants to get a Shoeless Joe Jackson card that hardly anyone else has?
