Posted By: <b>Bryan</b><p>This auction got me wondering how do you spot a fake cracker jack. I have no clue. I have always bought graded cracker jacks to stay on the safe side.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5216431841&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5216431841&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1</a><br /><br />Not saying this is a reprint and not saying it isn't. I just don't know.<br /><br />Thanks for your help.

Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>is to send it in to SGC, of course your creaseless card with nice corners is going to get a 30 but at least it will be authenticated...

Posted By: <b>Nex</b><p>The borders on that one are much much wider than the borders on the Marquard I own (and any other CJ I have), and they are considerably whiter than the white part of the uniform. Proceed with caution.
