Offered is an incredible collection of Joe Jackson's personal scrapbooks, obtained directly from the family of Shoeless Joe Jackson. The first scrapbook book has a leather back cover (the front cover is missing), and the pages measure approximately 15.5x11.25". There are about 118 pages in the scrapbook. Attached to the pages are various newspaper articles, box scores, summaries of baseball games, and photographs of Joe Jackson mounted to the pages. All the pages are filled with various early (mostly pre-1920s) Joe Jackson newspaper articles.

The second scrapbook includes approximately 90 pages of newspaper clippings. The clippings are attached to 12x14" cardboard scrapbook paper and range from 1912 to 1956, including an article announcing the death of Jackson. There is a treasure trove of information and photos included in both scrapbooks, mostly related to Jackson. There are also articles and photos related to other legendary players including Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, and others. Some highlights of the collection include a large, full page size photo of Jackson, team photos of teams that Jackson played on, World Series photos, and photos of Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams. Several of the pages are loose from the scrapbooks and have tape on them. Many of the clippings have also yellowed over the years.
