Use common sense guys. I totally agree with David on this. I only collect 1914’s, but it is common knowledge you could send in to Cracker Jack for the whole set in 1915, as oppose to 1914 where you only could obtain the cards from in the box.
If the collector was interested enough to mail in for the set- they were going to preserve the cards to best of their ability for the foreseeable future. Making for a great deal of High end 1915’s. Are some 1915’s altered- surely. I do not think the majority are altered though. I wouldn’t be too concerned Ryan. Be careful but I think the fact you could send in for the set is the real explanation. Go 1914 when in doubt as you already have the best cards and they are much scarcer/desirable. IMO. Keep kicking ass with your collection.

I guess that makes sense. An analogy to that is the 1933 Goudey Lajoie (also obtainable by mail), where 29 of the 77 graded (without qualifier of half-point) are 7, 8, or 9. Of course, Lajoie was only available by mail and 1915 CJs by mail or with the product, but the mail order does seem a plausible justification. Still seems high though for a 100+ year old card, but great points.

The same could be said for the M116 Sporting Life set. Many exist in higher grade due to how they were distributed.

It might be a combination of the 1915 set being available by ordering it from the company, and card doctors making sure to touch up the 6's and 7's.
