Nice start to the thread, Jamie -- always enjoy seeing that card.
This card just happened to be one of my favorites, and I was recently able to learn a little bit more about its back story, with much thanks going to board member (and hobby friend) Dean H.
This 1914 Cracker Jack Cobb card was originally auctioned off in Hunt's 2007 Live Auction during the DHL All-Star Fanfest. Dean was kind enough to send me copies of the auction catalog for the Cracker Jack offerings, and the group had the following introduction. I did not buy this card from the Hunt auction, and I was always amazed that my low grade Cobb had no caramel stains.
After seeing that this collection originated from one place, and that
none of the 1914 Cracker Jacks in the auction had staining, it led me to believe that this is a 1914 CJ that never saw the inside of a Cracker Jack box...
