I had a Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson that I bought as a teenager and sold a few years ago for very serious coin. Worth far more than any other card I owned, though I did have a fairly good collection.
The thing was just...weird. It looked pretty good, though it had some issues with corners, etc. But it was as if someone stuck it in a vise and squeezed it down and left it there for a couple days. It was just....limp. But it was authentic for all that.
Now I'm kind of wondering if I shouldn't have held onto those cards so my boys could enjoy them. Oh well.
This one is, obviously, in far, far better shape than the one I had was in.
