Tom BoblittOkay, preface this by saying we've had conversations on this at the Non-Sports board. Unfortunately for my pocketbook, I ride the fence between Non-Sports, Sports Memorabilia and Sports cards. I'm kind of like an Independent in the political world..........anyway..........
I've long collected the 1933 Cracker Jack pinback set and am 3 away although I've had those before in bad shape and just got rid of them waiting on cleaner ones.
A while back I saw a couple of ad pieces for BUTTON GUM from the same timeframe. They pictured presidents, indians, animals and other items and what I'd always been thought to be Cracker Jack pins were pictured on a button gum wrapper (pictured first) and ad piece (pictured second).
Does anyone out there in memorabilia land know HOW they got classified as Cracker Jack pins?
