A Glance At Different Sets--Percentage in High Grade

1915 Cracker Jacks, 176 card set, available 3 ways...

One at a time with Cracker Jacks,

All 176 at once by mailing in 100 Cracker Jack Coupons,

And all 176 at once with one coupon and 25 cents.

Furthermore, an album was available for 50 coupons or 1 coupon and 10 cents. I've seen the set of 176 flour-pasted into a scrapbook. Having the cards all at once would make them less susceptible to individual wear. Having them pasted into the album or a scrapbook would save those corners for 80 years, so they could be soaked off and then graded.



What would interest me is the breakdown of 1914 and 1915 graded CJs, in all of their grades. See if the 1914 cards are skewed toward the lower grades.
