Cracker Jack cards about to skyrocket?
After just placing my pre-order for the 100th anniversary Cracker Jack collection book that's about to debut at the National, I'm wondering if anybody else is getting the feeling that 1914-1915 CJ cards are about take off big time with collectors? Kinda in the same manner that the 100th anny of the T206 set triggered this huge uprising of renewed interest amongst collectors in all things T206 over the last few years.
It never dawned on me until I spoke with a long time private collector friend in Corona Del Mar. He's been hearing from top auction guys and from other high level collectors that there's about to be a significant spike in interest in the CJ collection as the 100th anniversary kicks in. I will say he had an incredible collection. He further explained to me that he was contemplating consigning many of his CJ cards after getting the heads up. I'm sure he's seeing dollar signs, haha. Suffice it to say I couldn't get him to part with any of them even after a few failed attempts at making offers, lol.
What do you guys think?
