Val, I love CrackerJacks, even the caramel corn. The artwork is unrivaled for the time. My bad not to exclude them from my small hit on E cards.
But the problem today with them is they are hard to buy and when some hit the auction circuit, they fetch prices I am not used to. They have truly been discovered or re-appreciated. I remember when Lew Lipset or Barry Sloate held an auction there would inevitably a nice selection of Cracker Jacks. Not so today. I have a few nice '14s and '15s which I guard like a hawk.
