I like my 1914 Cracker Jacks Stained
I am considering trying to assemble a 1914 Cracker Jack set, and over the past few weeks I have been looking at examples for sale on ebay and at auction houses. With all these doctoring scandals, I am hyper-aware of potential alterations, and it seems to me that the #1 offender for 1914 Cracker Jacks is bleaching and/or some chemical stain that removes the caramel stains. I look at some examples and see a spotless, super-white back with no staining, and fronts equally devoid of caramel stains and they scream of bleaching to me. Perhaps some 1914 CJs made it through with no-to-nominal staining. But for me, I like my 1914 Cracker Jacks stained!
What are you thoughts and lets see those stained 1914 Cracker Jacks
