Great list! thanks to everyone who had input. Im trying to decide which way to go with the cracker jacks after Ive acquired all the big boys....do I save up for a JJ or do I pursue some of the lower tiered HOFers and maybe get a 15 Matty to go with?

Probably an unpopular view, but in my opinion, if you're collecting the 14 CJ for financial reasons you're collecting it for the wrong reason. And you're more than welcome to tell me to fuck off, I'll still have a beer with you before first pitch.

I don’t think he said he was doing it as an investment (so what if he is?), but I just think he meant that a joe Jackson would be expensive so he would save up some funds to be able to get one. At least that’s how I read it....

To be clear, IMHO collecting the 14 CJ should be a spiritual experience not a financial one. And again, you can tell me to fuck off and we'll still drink together, unless you endorse the DH rule, then we're going to have a problem...

I'm hoping one day the HOF will add the following names from the '14 CJ set:

103 Shoeless Joe
143 Daubert
108 Magee
10 McInnis
22 Smoky Joe
