As you know, 1914 cracker jacks are relatively scarce. PSA has graded a total of 5,186 and SGC shows a total of 3,162 graded. The set is 144 cards. Thus, there is, on average, 58 PSA/SGC graded examples of each card (of course some are more common/scarce than others). There are some BVG, and of course cross-overs not removed from pop reports, and raw examples, etc. But the point is, they are relatively rare.

At the same time, I think the set’s popularity has really picked up in the past few years. Indeed, I assembled/bought a set last year, which I plan to hold. Low supply + increasing demand = scarcity. I haven’t written anything the OP doesn’t already know.

So, to answer the original question - they have been snapped up (by set builders, collectors, investors… who cares) and very few are being resold. I expect that could change as the economy continues to crater, so hold tight. They likely a’coming

PS- maybe move this to main page and out of BST section?
