Need your input please 1915 Cracker Jack 103 Jackson card.

Hello everyone
New member here and need your expert opinions before I pay for this Jackson card from Cracker Jack 1915 series, I was told by the lady the print on the cards back is upside down.
The paper on card seems correct, the space between the uniform and border is consistent white, I know the second year CJ cards you can order from mail and were in far better shape than the previous year.
The only thing the bothers me is the letters on his name in front along with the back writing, seems smudged. Any and all opinions welcomed, don't wanna get ripped off for $400.00

The image did not come through.

Here is what real one should look like

I'm on an iPhone, how do I load/post a pic on here, I tried to didn't work.

Not sure. I've never used my iphone to post.

I'll try to figure it out Jay, nice card btw.
You really should see this card though.

Here's the link for the card in question since I can't get my pics to upload http://bit.ly/1gQ2ifL

Card is reprint. Biggest tip is that everything, pic, text, etc, is very fuzzy. It lacks the sharpness of a real card

Thank you Sabrjay, you saved me $400.00
If your ever in Winnipeg I'll buy you lunch!
Now to cancel the auction

Don't make it up that far north, but I'm not too far. I'm in the Minneapolis, so if you make it down this way we can meet up.

No problem thanks for the help, transaction cancelled.

Good move. It that was real, and you got it for $400, you would be stealing it!

Here is the one I used to own. It made $8k at auction.

Yeah, it is a beautiful card. That was 8K with the juice. I never saw the crease in the upper right before I scanned it.

If I still had it, I would sell it to you, but I am sure it has a wonderful new home where it is very much appreciated!

That was part of the deal, getting the cards "off the bench". They are back in the game now, and I have no regrets!  

That graded Jackson is fantastic. As fond as I am of Pee Wee Reese's 1953 Bowman card:



I'd have to give that Jackson serious consideration for coolest baseball card ever. For a whole variety of reasons, not the least of which is the name cache and mystique of the player, to say nothing of what a wonderfully simple and elegant design that set had. Awesome card.
