Trick or treating is done. Let's see some Cracker Jack cards!
The kids have gone to bed, the Halloween costumes have been put away for another year, and whatever candy remains will be gone by tomorrow.
I still have a sweet tooth, however. And this particular sweet tooth can only be satiated by some E145 Cracker Jack cards. So, let's see your best cards from the 1914 and 1915 sets!! |
I only have 1. Definitely one of my favorite WaJo poses.

I'm a sweet tooth as well, and I have about 2.5 extra bags of fun size Snickers/Milky Ways/Butterfingers to feed this beast.
Here are my few CJs... |

Great cards, everybody!
Dean, that Johnson is beautiful. I grew up reading about the Big Train, and the first pre-war Hall of Fame card I bought was his T206 port. I've mulled over collecting a pre-war Hall of Famer as a side project, and I have it narrowed down to three players: Johnson, Eddie Collins and Hughie Jennings. I played second base as a kid, and love think Collins was one of the greatest to ever play the position. Plus, he's in each of "the big three", the T206, Cracker Jack, and Goudey. Jennings intrigues me, and I identify with his enthusiasm. Every time I see a picture of him, or a card with his hands in the air, I want to buy it! Ian, it's almost scary how similar our tastes in cards are. That Alexander, for one, is incredible. I love the diversity in your collection. Willie, the T202s, your CJs...that is exactly what I plan on doing with my own collection, though it might take me a while to build it. Thankfully, I know you will be able to enjoy watching me build it from the ground up ;) Steven and Rob...just wow. I've been accused of waxing a bit too enthusiastically before, but when I see cards like these, how can I as a collector not absolutely vibrate with glee? Those are incredible. I spent about four hours last night reading everything I could find about the E145-1 and 2, from blog posts on Dean's Cards, to the PSA card fact site, and everything in between. It's amazing to me how few of these cards there really are if one believes the numbers that were supposedly printed. Certainly it seems more of the white border cards survived. It seems we have no shortage of collectors, however. I look forward to seeing everybody else chime in with their own treasures. Thanks for sharing, guys! Edit: Mike, your "only two" have incredible eye appeal. Knowing what I do now about the '14s, it's hard to believe any cards have survived this long in that kind of condition. |

A 98 1914? Wow. Look at the registry weight on that sucker. 15
To be honest, Steven, I'm shocked that some of these cards even exist in that high of a grade range. |

Nice cards, the past day or so..I been looking at purchasing my 1st CJ 1914 Cobb
It is only a PSA 1 with a hole at top. Looking at CardTarget..past sales were 2k-2500...until a recent REA (sgc10) sold for over 5k. What would this card be worth placing a bid on? NOT MINE and sorry for outing this, probably gets shill bidded anyways. http://host.jwcinc.net/712533/brent/...ry/391_5_3.jpg |
Tony - Your cards are sooo nice...Mr McGraw did send me an email that he thinks you should sell him to me!;)

Wow, these are some beauties. I am working on the 1915 set in PSA 1-ish condition. You are more than welcome to take a look. Not all I have are scanned in yet, though.

Bill, either Collins or Jennings would be a great choice for your player collection - WaJo, not so much!! :D
|
The Cracker Jacks really are some of the most beautiful cards ever made.
Thank you all for sharing! |

Great thread idea Bill. I still feel sick from a drunchie binge on leftover candy last night.
I'm glad to see McGraw and Clarke were posted. Don't own either of them but the poses are unique and quite detailed. I can't remember seeing too many depictions of a player sitting on a bat (maybe waiting for his turn during batting practice?). WaJo seems a little over-represented (if that is even a possibility) but it is my only CJ so I am compelled to include it. Mine would rank highly in the "well-loved" category. Lastly, this is my first time using my shiny new V33 scanner. Damn it looks good for the price. I'm going to have to re-scan the whole collection this weekend. |

Jeff - That Jennings has the largest borders I have ever seen on a CJ...fatties!
|
There is simply too much high-caliber ammo here to show my one lowly "3"-grade CJ. Some insane cards on this thread!
|
I will throw these 6 "collector grade" key cards into the mix
