Default Rising prices for CJ 15s...

As many know, the 14s started really soaring a year or two ago, and have stayed high even if they have leveled off now. Not much happened with the 15s at that time. This seemed natural--they are much more common, both in lower and higher grades. However, they too have now taken off. At first it was just in the very high grades, 8 and above, but now even down to the 3s and 4s commons. In fact, most of the commons are now selling for what the much scarcer 14s were selling for at that level a couple of years ago...although HOFers not yet matching the 14s.

So what's going on? Just people giving up on collecting 14s because of price and moving to the similar 15s? More people appreciating the 15s because there more of them and no stains? People confusing prices on the two sets--are not aware that one is much harder to get than the other? I can't believe it's just the "100th anniversary" idea....

The 1914s took of so fast that the 1915s were kinda forgot about. I felt 1915 prices started rising awhile ago in all grades. I love when folks refer to how "common" they are, I guess that term is relative. I believe Rickey has less than 60 graded copies, he can be kinda tough. There are also far fewer 1915s for sale these days and almost zero lots of the them opposed to a few years ago. I think there have been a few "commons" identified as getting a premium as they are tough to find as I have been looking for 4 upgrades for 4 years now. For awhile F Smith #90 seemed to get a pretty decent premium, certain horizontals as well as #1 and #176 but that would be more typical. I have a much harder time finding the cards I need and prices are double or even triple from 4 years ago.

Default 1915 CJ have dried up

I picked up most of the catchers in the 1915 set a few years back.

Still looking for a nice mid grade Jimmy Archer. Seemed like there was always a few on eBay in years past but none in the last 8 months or so.

More folks are collecting them than before, set collectors are upgrading and there are several high-end guys now as well. More demand plus less cards as the volume has dropped significantly in that time as well.

Hey, I'm not complaining! I happened to buy a few before the surge, including "none higher" PSA 8s for Gowdy and Hamilton....I've stayed away from lower graded cards but wish I had grabbed a few others. I mainly see commons, not HOFers...

Default 1915 Cracker Jack

I believe the bottom line is that a lot of seasoned collectors don't really want 1, 2's or 3's and also don't want to invest in 7's, 8's and 9's ....this puts a crunch on mid grade with some cards being very tough to find as there are very few in these grades.....they just are not around......Great set!

I wouldn't necessarily say seasoned collectors don't want 1's, 2's or 3's. It all depends on the eye appeal. I think many CJ collectors like their cards with some staining. Nothing major but some that shows it come from a CJ box.
