Default Cracker Jack fake?

Posted By: Bruce Babcock

This Cracker Jack, questions of color aside, seems to me to be too thick. For corners to "feather" the card must have some thickness, like a 1956 Topps card. A card which is actually made of cardboard. The Cracker Jack cards are so thin that there is not much card to "feather." The would typically ding, and blunt the point, or tear, but it seems highly unlikely that any Cracker Jack would have four corners so similar and so feathered. Also, the corners of the offered card seem to cast shadows bigger than one would expect with a Cracker Jack. The card did sell however, for $1052.99.
