I like my Cracker Jacks shellacked and on a plaque
Then there are guys like me who are as thick as a plank.

And when a nice group of '14s comes up at auction, such as the one prior to the current LTG auction, there is a feeding frenzy that would embarrass hungry sharks.

I respectfully disagree about preferring the stains. The LOTG auction (mentioned earlier - hi John) had amazing, virtually stain-free CJ's. These are tremendous examples, well worn around the edges, but with great surfaces. To me, they trump stained ones any day.

To me...I much prefer vintage cards that show age. I had a chance to handle a raw T206 that would easily grade a 7 or 8. It just looked wrong.
My Goudeys, T206, and CJ must have rounded corners or I'm not a buyer, particularly with the price they'd get. |

Confused
I don't know why you would prefer a card that has been altered to look good over it in its original format. I would think the 1915s would appeal to you then but I guess it's to each their own.

Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but how were these cards packaged originally?

Answer
The 1914s were only obtainable by buying a box of cracker jacks. The 1915s were also inside the boxes but yet if you sent in 100 coupons or 1 coupon and 25 cents they would send you the entire set. So lots of 1915s are caramel stain free.

Perfect! I know '14s are right side up, and '15s are upside down, but are the checklists the same?

Cracker Jacks
Thank you...Took 8 years to put a solid mid grade set together mostly centered and stain free...mostly......some cards are extremely tuff in mid grade ..they are not hard in low grade or even high grade but mid grade can be very tuff.......I am talking about 4s - 7s.....Enjoyed every minute but had to swallow hard a couple of times.......... LOL
