Cracker Jacks
 
Posted By: <b>J Levine&nbsp; </b><p>Now, I am not an expert in Cracker Jacks but Broadway Rick (groan) has listed 4 or 5 of the toughest including the Jackson on ebay. And he has recieved a lot of bids because he says they are 100% Authentic. The scans make them look extremely fake to me. Black and white backs? Ultra-white borders? How can people be bidding on these? And of course, no returns at all. &lt;shaking my head in disgust&gt;<br /><br />-Joshua

Posted By: <b>823dek</b><p>I too seen these and ugh ! They look sorta hazy and the borders are too too white,I cannot believe that one would jeopardize their credibility in such a obvious way. Maybe he was drunk at purchase point and wants to off them on one of us.

Cracker Jacks
 
Posted By: <b>The Other One</b><p>This is a 1915 Cracker Jack I bought for too much, and the stain on the top was so bad, you could hardly read the "Cracker Jack" (sorry, I don't have "before and after" pictures). After two years of being stored in Mylar, it's still stained, but only mildly (the back escaped, for some reason).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1091649447.JPG"> <br /><br />(I was once looking through my mother's rock collection with her, and picked up a really beautiful one, with a crack in it. I said "Too bad this one is cracked," and she said "Yes, but it's healing." She was serious! Some cracks in rocks do heal--over thousands of years!)
