Default 1914 Cracker Jack Cicotte

Posted By: Scott

In case you haven't found them for yourself yet, there is currently one example from each year up on ebay.

As mentioned, the 1914 is in pretty poor condition...

1915

Chris, I agree totally with you regarding the scarcity of the 1914 cards.

While Julies right (and I know this has been discussed before) that there are several cards where the 1915s go for more, its likely because there are many more 1915s around and in better condition today because of the full sets that were available back when the cards were offered.... thus more demand for the 1915s... not necessarily across the board but at least for certain cards.

Myself, I prefer the 1914s (even with their caramel staining) because of the knowledge that they were pulled out of a box of cracker jack by some excited kid (or parent) back in that era...
