To those who collect TPG holders, a scrubbed CJ might get you a bump. But I ask, at what cost?!?

Chris, I definitely respect your opinion and understand why you feel the way you do about your Cracker Jacks. Obviously I'd like the cleanest copies possible, but I appreciate your perspective on how the caramel speaks to the history of the cards and I hope that carries over to me as a newer CJ collector. I will say that the Clarke in question presents like a VGEX card other than the staining, so if caramel stains allow me to more easily afford the cards I guess I should stop complaining. I will not be soaking the card btw. Thanks again for everyone's input!
