Original signed Bill of Sale transferring ownership of a Pool Room and Cigar Store at 1202 E. 55th St. in Chicago, Illinois from “Shoeless” Joe Jackson to his teammate “Lefty” Claude Williams for the sum of $1 (and all outstanding debts). In 1921, despite being acquitted by a court of law, Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned eight members of the Chicago White Sox (including both Jackson and Williams) for life for fixing the 1919 World Series. Joe Jackson and his wife Katie decided to move back down South to Savannah, Georgia, prompting the sale of the Pool Room and Cigar Store. The document is notarized and dated October 6th, 1921 and is signed Joe Jackson and C.P. Williams in blue fountain pen. The Jackson signature remains especially bold rating 8/9 out of 10 with Williams also very fine at 10 out of 10. The document itself has some expected age toning to a few areas with partial separation at two fold lines on right edge. Lefty Williams ranks among the more difficult of the Chicago Black Sox members having passed away in 1959. The exceptional scarcity of Joe Jackson's signature due to his literacy constraints is well documented with authentic examples of quality numbering in the low two digits. The high condition grade and desirable notarization of the offered signed document place this among the very top of the surviving population. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (Jackson: 8, Williams: 10, Overall: 9): Document: VG-EX, Signatures: NM/MT-GEM MINT
