Real Cracker Jack box with a baseball card inside. Okay it's not actual 1915. And not even 1915, more like 1918, since one side has Sailor Jack and his dog Bingo. I found a photo in a different thread of a complete box, made a repro box, made a repro copy of a real 1915 Cracker Jack baseball card (which were pretty flimsy, not card stock, more like cream colored paper), and packed in the fake card with real 2024 Cracker Jack. The real cards were just stuck into the boxes with the Cracker Jack loose, no paper wrapper or envelope. That's one way to tell the fakes from the real thing; there should be caramel or molasses stains on the card!
