I just got through perusing the Goodwin auction results, interesting as always, and was surprised at the somewhat flat prices achieved for the Cracker Jack lots, in particular the '14 Frank Chance. I have always, like so many, loved CJ cards; the color, smell, feel and, of course, the wonderful player images. The Chance, in my opinion, is one of the iconic cards in the whole set most probably due to the fact he only appeared in the '14 set, being replaced in '15 by Hal Chase. This important fact was not even mentioned in Goodwin's description, which I felt was a shocking omission. I believe, but am not sure, he was the only HOF'er dropped for the '15 set. His solid PSA 5 card #54 only fetched $2963. I wonder if this is a price trend starting to emerge for these popular cards?
