Default Cool Find

A guy I work with found out I collect baseball stuff and said he had a few items that his grandfather had given him. I went over to his place last night to watch a Mariners spring training game. We had a few beers and he went into the garage and dug around for his grandfathers items. He comes in with a 1914 Cracker Jack ad poster with with eleven cards on it. I think REA had a 1915 sheet, but this one said 144 cards on the back. He said he always liked Ty Cobb and wanted that card. I said this thing has some real value as a sheet and to leave it alone. He insisted on getting the Cobb and I could have the rest. So we cut it up and he kept the Cobb and I got the other cards. Here are a couple of the cards.
