Default 1914 Cracker Jack set

Posted By: Scott Elkins

Being a collector, I have to strongly disagree with the people who say they would like this set to "stay together". It would be great for the Hobby for it to be broken up - that would make a "chance" for 144 different people to have a piece of a spectacular find (however, that wouldn't happen, as some people would definitely win more than one card - but, would be possible in theory). In fact, if I had it, I would keep a couple of my favorites and sell the remainder - making a substantial profit and finally proving I was right!

Afterall, Sportscard Plus didn't sell the Harris set intact - and, look at the success of that auction - over $1 Million. With that in mind, and this set a higher grade, it should be VERY EASY for you guys/gals to comprehend that my estimate of $1.5-$2 Million is probably very accurate! Now, as Forrest Gump would have said......"That's all I've got to say about that.".......until the one day in the future (whether it be one year or ten years) that the set is broken up and sold. THEN, I will only have to say - remember when Greg Schwartz and I told you people what this set would sell for, well we were WRONG - it sold for more!
