1915 Rabbit Maranville Cracker Jack card
 

Today I received my Rabbit Maranville card from Dean’s Cards. I am well pleased with it and it leaves me now with only 4 more to go to complete the Boston Braves sub set:
Herbert Moran
Charles Schmidt
George Tyler
Richard Rudolph

Luckily, I got the rest of the cards years ago( like Evers). I think the 1914/15 Cracker Jacks are the best of the era, certainly, the most attractive. Gotta love those stains! Anyway, enjoy!

The front of the card would not download, here is the whole card

Awesome card! I collect the '14s and have only one raw CJ Donie Bush. The Philly Show only had a few handfuls >20 with Knabe being the only raw '14 CJ.that I saw.

Nice Maranville Mike. Love those Cracker Jacks.

Thank you…..raw is the only way most of us can afford the higher end cards these days.
I love these Cracker Jack cards , both 14 and 15. Glad I started collecting them in early 1990….wish I would have kept going….focused more on T206’s , of which I have well over 450.

I think so as well, certainly good enough for me. Hopefully I can find the last 4 in the subset and not break the bank!

You are right, they are great looking cards. Your Maranville is gorgeous!

HOFer from an Iconic set. Love looking at these. Congrats

Thank you James and Kent. Out of the five needed, I thought this one was going to be the hardest to get at a reasonable price…..I lucked out. Glad I started collecting these again….Cracker Jack did it right!

Perfect way to get a card that is clean with good colors. Pin hole would kill the technical grade but i am fine with card like that. Buy the card not the flip.

Yes James, I agree. And there are still quite a few cards like this out there, that are clean, good color, not perfect, but a solid collectible card that you can afford and have fun building the collection.

I agree with this completely. I am taking my time and being myself (cheap) and still looking for nice HOF examples of each year, with great eye appeal and low technical grades. The search is a lot of the fun.

This is from my last collection.. I don't own it any longer but an example like this would be great.

Absolutely Leon……it definitely isn’t worth it unless it’s fun. Today , I got this GR PR Joe Connolly card from Tonyetrade. Like the Maranville, nice color and a very acceptable card, with just enough molasses stain to make it amazing. If this is a graded “Poor” card, I’ll collect them all day long……..getting closer to that Braves set!

Cracker Jack cards are so cool some collectors like them even when they look like this:
