I own 8 1914 Cracker Jack cards. Every single one of them has at least one corner missing. The cards are thin and brittle, and if I am not careful, the Miller shown might shed its top left corner at the crease the next time I handle it, and I believe the bottom right on the Meyers is fortified with tape to prevent another slice from cleaving off.

These are pretty amazing cards to hold in hand. They feel as though they're on rice paper. Their shockingly small size but mighty images and bold red color are quite astounding. Regarding their condition, grading companies will actually reject them for grading if there is too much paper loss and they're at risk of falling apart with transfers between multiple graders.

I would gladly take one any one great cards, great looking, and those “defects”/blemishes give it character
Someone is very lucky to have them in their collections

I only own two but guess I am lucky in that neither of them have tears. Sorry for the poor scan of the second one.
