Let's See Your Favorite 1914 Cracker Jack!!
 

With the current strength of the 1914 CJ's, and inspired by my friend and fellow board member Rob, let's see your favorite 1914 Cracker Jack card. Maybe not your most valuable, although that's fine, but also your favorite pose.

#90 Frank Smith ranks up there with the best of them!

sweet card! beauty!

I really love any of the landscape cards (wish I had a Mathewson). My favorite of these is Demaree.


I also think the James Scott card is really cool looking. My mom collects music boxes and there's this old one with a clown that dances when you wind it. His legs kick up to the music and this card reminds me of that.

I agree with you Tom, that's one of my favorite cards in the hobby.
Still have never owned one.

Great cards everyone. Keep em' coming....

Love the Cobb.

Tony - you know how feel about that cobb...freakin wow!

Heres a couple I managed to pry from the OP...

I'd just repost Tom's card if I had to post my favorite :)

Love the Demaree and horizontals. And of course the Cobb and JJ are iconic. I guess if I had to post the favorite from my own collection, it'd be Mr. Clarke (ask me tomorrow and it'd prob be a different answer) ... is there another card from ANY set similar to this pose in existence?

So Steven, YOU are the one I can blame for the Zeider ebay auction ending early!?!? :p Nice pickup :D

Well, Tom took my answer!

I just love the Frank Smith card (and Tom, if you ever want to get rid of yours, you know how to get in touch with me)……but I also love some of the catcher poses from the set.

Also, I know I am in the minority, but one of my least favorite cards is the Honus Wagner card…….I cannot look at it without thinking that he looks like a character out of The Hobbit or a gnome :eek:

Negative Rob, this card never saw the light of eBay. I poked my stick into the bush and out it flew.

Original, huh?
 

Just a cool card.

My only one...but a fave in any case:

that Fred Clarke is cool!
 

more landscape gems (thanks Probstein!) where the hell does this guy keep getting his 14's? never ending supply on eBay

Hmm, search this board for Probstein and see what comes up.

Couple of my favorites....

Ping!
 

Love the pose and cool story; apparently (assuming my sources are accurate) - 'ole Ping beat an ostrich in a spaghetti eating contest . . . My kinda guy!

The Owens card is way cool.

Apparently Percy (the Ostrich) passed out after his 11th plate of spaghetti!!!!:eek:

Not that anyone expected anyone but WaJo from me - with a 1915 CJ (on the right) as well, because it's the only scan I have of them right now.
