CJ 1915 prices taking off -- why?

GregMitch34 · #1 03-20-2016, 07:53 AM

Just an update: Last night BST had a large number of CJ 15s in auction, most of them PSA 6 or 7 and a few 8s, some HOFers (Walsh, Clarke, Wagner 2.5, etc.) As far as I could see nearly all set records for the grade, some by quite a lot, others no. In just a few cases the very recent PWCCs prices were slightlhy higher. In any case, the "surge" seems to have continued or stayed at high level.

I thought the Cracker Jack sale prices last night were strong as well. I have been wanting a '15 Matty for a while now, and I was surprised to see the SGC 20 example in the BST auction last night go for $1,500 with the buyer's premium. If that is the going rate for low-grade '15 Mattys, that card may have permanently moved out of my price range.

I think the Wags 2.5 went for close to $3500 which is what 4s were going for...

But I have focused more on the commons,where 7s until very recently went for,say,$350 but now go for $500-800.

Cracker JAcks have a lot going for them...and I think they are just getting their due respect. An iconic brand forever uttered/consumed at every baseball game ever played.

This set has it all...most of the stars of the day...great poses...striking red background...specially sized...rare enough to be a challenge...rare variations...single year scarcities...and even back variation between 14-15'.

The set has attracted collectors as of lately and the prices seem to reflect it.

I wish I had more of them!

Hey Dean, good to hear from you as always.

I don't think that one actually sold as the seller relisted it a few times after his Feb 17th "sale" that you posted. It might be that he marks some things as sold to build a fake price history on Ebay rather than letting listings end. That same card, with the same seller, also ended unsold on 2/28, 3/6, and 3/13.
