since you all seem so poitive about the backs. When I first started collecting CJs, I got a '15 with the first paragraph on the back rightsisde up, and the second, shorter paragraph upside down. Mark Macrae said it was fine.. Later, I got Cracker jacks with BOTH paragraphs upside down (Chase, for one), and Mark said THAT was fine. I THINK I then got a '15 with the whole printed back rightside up, and Mark said that was O.K. too. He said the only thing was the "series of 144" on the '14s amd "series of 176" on the '15s. that never changed.

Oh. I never got a '14 with anything but a straight rightsideup back. And some of my them are quite white, and since I've had them for at least 10 years and they aren't falling apart, and never smelled like bleach, I assume they were white-bordered to begin with.

The best-conditioned card I own is a Cracker Jack 1915 Brown, which i happened to get from-- the only catd I ever got from him--Alan Rosen!
