1914 cracker jack
 

I've been away for a while - what's going on here?

The prices?
 

I'm relatively new to the board (and vintage bball cards), but I'm guessing you mean the price escalation? Well, they're a pretty limited card set in terms of production, and PSA released a book lauding them. So they got in front of some new collectors, and started a run on them.

The 1914 Cracker Jack if your talking bout the prices. They have seemed to settle back down. You don't see the crazy prices like they were before. But then again I really haven't been paying as much attention to the set. I just haven't seen the buzz that it had a few months back. Hopefully one of the guys who is better with the set will post something.
