Default 1914 Cracker Jack set

I might be getting my rumors wrong, but isn't there a lot of suspicion that the Harris collection contains a lot of trimmed/altered cards and received preferential treatment in its grading?

As to the sale price of the CJ set raw vs graded, I am sure there a premium attached to the price given the condition, but even MAstro had no clue that Jax would come back a 98. That alone would have been grounds tacking on a serious premium above the already heafty price. As of now, most of the HOFers are are 96 including Cobb and Alexander and 2 commons grade 98. It wouldn't be surprising to see Jax, Cobb, Matty, Alexander, Johnson and Wagner would fetch close to $1 million or more by themselves.

I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff. And I want in.
