Please explain Cracker Jack price increases

[Yastrzemski Sports]

You can go to the Philly show and find many many dealers with tons of T206 cards. Good luck finding a handful of cj in the room. Try that at almost any show. They have been long overlooked as truly rare cards.

I think the other aspect of this is the entire card market has gone up. Just about everything that I watch has increased in price. People who sell their cards have a lot more money. This gives them a lot more money to buy cards.

Excluding print error/anomalies, comparing low pop commons from both sets.

T206 basic commons is 200+ population just with PSA
1914 Cracker Jack common is 30 or less with PSA.

There’s some basic commons from the 14cj set that only now come up once every six months or so.

So whatcha saying is I'm getting on this train too late lol

The 1914 Cracker Jack set is the greatest set in the history of card collecting. Period.

The 1915 Cracker Jack is a tremendous set as well if you like high end cards. I have been collecting this set since 2007 and I tell you, they are hard to find in PSA 7 or higher which is how I collect them.

Every year I go to the National looking for cards and you will hardly ever see any 1915 CJ PSA 7 or higher for sale. I have mostly put my set together from either eBay, Auction Houses or trading with other collectors. Heck, sometimes I even buy doubles to trade with other collectors for cards I need. Most of the commons have a pop of less than 15 in PSA 7 or above. All you need is 10 to 15 collectors putting the set together and you will find yourself in my shoes. Very hard to find high end cards.

I love this set so much that I’m going for the Triple Play. Im putting the whole set together in PSA 7 or higher as well as Conlon Type 1 Photos of each 176 player and Autographs in either index or GPC PSA/DNA 9 or 10’s. In my opinion best looking set ever, period!

Best of luck to everyone who wants to put this wonderful set together. They are simply amazing!
