While the finder of these cards is obviously a very lucky person...

I always HATE IT when a "factory find" like this comes to light.



Every time it happens, it just makes everything the rest of us have worked so hard to collect worth a little bit less and not as impressive.

For instance, I would have been so proud to own an SGC 80 1914 C.J. Shoeless Joe card...

but now that a freakin' SGC 98 exists...

the whole "mystique" of the hard-to-find 1914 Cracker Jack set seems to be gone.



And so much for the caramel stains that are "virtually certain" on every other 1914 C.J. in the World. They will look dirty and ugly next to these.
