I've owned some 14 CJ's I acquired through the years, they are tough, but I am amazed at the set getting so hot.
I never understood why cards do this. What's changed? They've been around for 100 years and to change so drastically seemingly overnight out of the blue makes no sense to me. I've always loved Cracker Jack's but I just don't understand this kind of phenomenon.
