Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I am also collecting 1914 CJS and silly as it sounds the fact that the 1914 Cracker Jack cards were obtained from the box of cracker jacks themselves is cool to me- as were the 1915s but you could send in for 1915 Cracker Jack cards in addition. The fact most cards have caramel stains is cool to me. Also baseballs anthem has forever memorialized cracker jacks. The population is very low on 1914 cracker jacks compared to a t206 common for example. Like Jay said supply and Demand. I agree also with 1952boyntoncollector about the younger generation of collectors appreciating the sets they only heard of as a youngster. With more information at our disposal like population reports collecting what we think is a good investment is easier and people are gravitating towards cracker jacks.
My first love for sets of that era will always be the 1916 M101-5 and 4.. Scarce Ad backs, the first set of action poses, and the Babes inaugural issue trumps all IMO.
Best,
Connor Ciallella
