Lionel Carter 1914 Cracker Jack virtual collection
 

All,

After watching this video:

I started researching to see if Lionel Carter owned a 1914 Cracker Jack set.
It appears he did.

An excerpt of the article states: (Doug) "Allen conceded there are anomalies,
as of course there would be. There are in virtually everybody’s collections, no
matter how fastidious the collector might be. Like his Cracker Jack set. “I have
no idea why he never went back and got one of those 1915 Cracker Jack sets
from the mail-in offer,” Allen said. “Maybe it’s just because he pieced them
together one at a time. He has the rarities, the Mathewson and the Frank
Chance from the 1914 set – he has a master set from both years – yet the
condition of those isn’t that fantastic.”

I looked through my old Mastro Auction catalogs, but couldn't find the catalog
that contained the auctioning of his 1914 Cracker Jack set. (If someone could
help find this catalog that confirms he had a 1914 CJ set and post it here that
would be a great help.

I have gone online and found the following images from the 1914 Cracker Jack
set with the Lionel Carter pedigree. Other cards I found online with the Carter
pedigree include:

Sweeney
Chance
Baker
Hooper
Jennings
Suggs
Caldwell

It would be neat to complete a virtual 1914 Cracker Jack set from the Lionel
Carter collection. I've accounted for 12 of the 144 cards. If you have a 1914
Cracker Jack card from the Lionel Carter collection could you kindly post it here.

Thank you,

Here's a few more cards from Lionel Carter 1914 Cracker Jack pedigree.
As it turns out Lionel Carter had a master CJ set. 67 were from the 1914
series and 116 from the 1915 series.
