The images in the "A" set actually show the player identified on the card, whereas, the "B" and "C" sets repeat the poses from the "A" set and do not show the actual player.

Cool pickup Leon!

Congrats Patrick. Nice accomplishment. And I had the same idea as Todd, just sell it and then you can search for another for 30 more years!
Added this to my site., I have had it for a good while..

Nice haul! Love the Murtaugh. One of my good friends is Murtaugh's grandson and there are a few of them right now working on some project to push for his induction into the HOF on the Golden Days Committee. Has Murtaugh's last game worn jersey framed and hanging on his living room wall.

Thanks, Bill. I bet that jersey looks awesome!

Congrats on the upgrades! The Collins was part of a complete set of 1914 Cracker Jacks that my father-in-law and I put together in 2008. I was the hustle man, tracking down the cards, and he was the bank behind it. In a somewhat contested move, he pushed it quickly to auction and sold it for $88k. I shudder to think what that, and the sister 1915 set that we put together at the same time, would be worth now but it was a helluva lot of fun to put those together. Enjoy the hunt!

Oh wow Brian that is something you recognized your former card. I'm glad to have picked it up and plan to keep it for a while. I am enjoying the hunt, hard to locate good cards at good prices so I am being patient.
I take it you had the Dent-Kappel set...really nice cards.
$88K huh...I would gladly pay that amount for a complete 14 CJ set now!
What just the Cobb, Johnson, Wagner, Matty and Joe Jax cards would bring today!

Leon - very interesting Cracker Jack piece!

I may have shown this off here before. Found it a few months ago. It’s an embossed side panel to a Cracker Jack shipping carton, 1912 to 1922 era.
