2. What is a reasonable price to pay for commons, borh raw and graded, in VG-EX condition?
3. What is a reasonable price to pay for Hofers Plank, Collins, Crawford and Bender, also raw or graded, in VG-EX?
Thanks.

1. 1914's were only issued in boxes of Cracker Jack and, by and large, IMO command a premium over their 1915 counterparts. Also, there were only 144 cards in 1914 vs. 176 in 1915.
2. 1915's were available to purchase the entire set which is why some have no caramel stains as opposed to the 1914 issue.
3. As far as pricing, I would refer one to VCP or the 'bay or Old Cardboard to see current pricing.
