Posted By: <b>jim sexton</b><p>I have been collecting 1915 federal league cracker jacks. The Standard Catalog has Otto Knabe as the most expensive card in that 50 card sub-set. Why?

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I agree... <br><br>To expand a bit, card #1 was most likely to be atop a stack of cards. There, it was subject to more wear and abuse than cards further down in the stack. Since the card stock was a bit flimsy, fewer #1 cards have survived to our 21st century.

Posted By: <b>S Gross</b><p>the #1 card ???<br><br><br><br>The old rubber band theory; in the 1914 set the last card is Jimmy Walsh, also a high value Fed. Also in the 1914 Feds. #60 Zeider is high, probably due to he was relpaced in 1915 set.<br><br><br>Edit to say I gotta' start thinking or typing faster !!

The most significant is Christy Mathewson. The 14 is a pitching pose, the 15 is a portrait. The 14 is extremely desirable and is quickly becoming one of the most expensive cards of the era.<br>#93 Derrill Pratt. Pose change, once again throwing to portrait.<br>#99 Another highly desirable player change. Frank Chance was replaced by Hal Chase in 15. In the last 3 years Ive seen a lot less of Chance than of the Matty, but it goes for less.<br>#111 Nixey Calahan replaced by Herb Moran.<br><br><br>thanks grif

Posted By: <b>James Gallo</b><p>I know there are some other changes to the team names does anyone have a list of those handy.<br><br>I have seen plenty of 1914 Chance's I believe Leon has one that has been sitting on his site for some time now.<br><br>The 1014 Pratt is harder to get then either of the above and the other cards do get a premium with the Callahan being the next hardest IMO.<br><br><br>James G<br><br>Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.
