Eric BrehmI managed to win the 1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson EX 5 in the REA auction. One peculiarity with this card is that there are significantly more examples graded EX-MT, NM, and especially NM-MT, than there are ones graded EX. This seems to be true of other cards from the Cracker Jack set as well. It is rather like a 'condition rarity' that exists in the middle, rather than at the high end of, the condition range. I wonder if this stems somehow from the fact that the higher grade ones that have survived are primarily from factory sets, while the lower grade examples are the ones that were actually pulled from candy boxes.
