Unofficial CJ Thread...a couple CJ questions.
First off, I love cj's. I have 2 questions and fishing for opinions/ideas, plus those of us that are cj junkies need more to talk about here (t206 what?). First, Im looking for ideas/opinions on how to display my set after completion which should be within the next decade. My thought was to buy a reprint set, a nice leather binder embroidered with:
"Cracker Jack Ball Players"
on the front. I really dont like the CJ albums, plus they're pricey and my $ needs to go to cards. 20-24 stars would be displayed in a framed setting and the commons/minor stars/reprint stars in the book. Any ideas gang?
Question 2: I was fishing for thoughts on "levels" of the cards that are equal..NOT ACTUAL PRICES. This is my interpretation of 1915 CJs:
1. Who else?
2. Cobb
3. Tie - Wagner, Mathewson, Johnson
4. Tie - Lajoie, Alexander, Speaker, Rickey
5. Tie - Plank, Cicotte
6. Tie - Collins, Tinker
7. Tie - Evers, Mack, McGraw
These 16 cards, in my opinion, bring a higher premium than others fror e145-2's. I feel that the wagner, matty and johnson bring about the same price with all variables the same for example. Any thoughts? Other players ie hr baker?
