1915 Cracker Jack Advertising Poster

Very Cool

Shouldn't the text on the back be upside down

Are you going to sell these?

If you are printing these up and selling them, put me down for one!

Truthfully had not thought about selling them. I am looking for a printer to do it right but just started looking. If I get it printed I will get extras and sell at cost. I want authentic with holes and braided string.

Can someone tell me the thickness? Is it exactly the same as the cards?

Not the same as the cards, but if you have a cut out card, that is the thickness.

I'm in if you want to sell, I WANT ONE!!!!!

Ordering my first print today. I will post pictures when I receive it.

Please send or post high res pictures of any cutout cards from the '14 or '15 Advertising Card. Received one PM already, can't wait to get the pictures.

Thanks!

By the way, I replicated this poster last month. Mooney's Giants The Famous Elephant Baseball Team.

LOL! I guess they broke pattern with the poster - it's not like the '15 cards.

Thanks! I took time to make as exact a replica as possible - of course working from what little I could find. Couple items of note.

1. The Cracker Jack box is as true to the original box on the poster - my guess it was hand drawn by the printer or artist. If someone will send me a cutout Baker or Collins card, super high resolution - I might be able to improve the box even more. Maranville and Speaker cards with the box printing included would also be great. I just need high resolution. Scanned preferably.

2. I found the printers mark and duplicated it. Only thing I'm not 100% on is the ampersand.

3. Some of the cards pictured are not square or sized exactly like the actual cards, I really focused on these details. The Wagner card is cut up abruptly into the Jackson card - if true to the squared card it should have extended further.

4. The back pattern was not as easy as I thought, but the details are really close for sure, thanks to pictures of the back of some cutout cards I found here on net54.
