1914 Cracker Jack Eddie Plank Original or Reprint
 

I picked this card up today at an estate auction, along with 2 other 1914 CJ cards (Gessler and Carrigan). Cards appear to be original, but I am looking for some expert opinions on this card.

1914 Cracker Jack Eddie Plank - card is made of thin card stock, jersey appears to blend into the border. Reverse of card is inverse to the front (Top to bottom, bottom to top).

that's a 1915 card (for sure)

and from the scan I'd say it's real.

Agree with Eric. Looks good!

1914 CJ's state 144 pictures on the reverse while 1915's state 176 as shown.

Yep, real deal

How can you all tell?

100+ year old caramel stains look legit

Real. Reverse is inverse as it should be on a 1915. Card stock is correct, staining all looks right.

To all who replied to the original post, Thanks for the help on verifying this card.

Card was sent to PSA for grading, and I received notification Saturday that the card graded GOOD 2. I guess no bonus points were awarded for the piece of popcorn stuck to the back of the card.

I can't imagine anybody is going to say it's not real.

Terrific

I think the popcorn is worth a few bonus points! That’s awesome!

This thread begs the question

When should i schedule my estate sale?

Congrats
 

Nice find!

My contribution...

Late to the party but nice card. I like the staining !!

It's amazing what you can still find out in "the wild".:D

I always say there is a lot left to be found. The band aid box find of the Ty Cobb back, in the last Goldin Auction, was pretty cool. Will there be another Black Swamp type find? I think probably so (*or at least hopefully so). And there will be a lot more small finds for quite a long time to come.
