Yeah, I guess that's right: "Cracker Jacks still had a toy inside – a vintage baseball card, no less."

I had originally interpreted that line to mean "this vintage CJ box still had a card inside it," but it can also be read "like now, back then CJ boxes had a toy." Although the former copy editor in me would revise it, because that's not really what "still" means.

EDIT: Or what Dave said above LOL. Those guys aren't real bright, apparently.
