Hope the OP is still going strong on the 15 set!
I too think the CJ's are one of the best if not THE best looking set ever made. The deep red backgrounds and cream borders just ooze Americana at it's finest. And the fact they were produced and distributed by one of the all time great American treats is icing on the cake (and in caramel stickiness to boot!). Sometimes I day dream about a Ruth being included in the set and wonder what it would look like and how incredibly astronomical the value would be. As a matter of fact I had a recent dream that I went back in time and tried to find and then convince the guy in charge of CJ's to include that promising rookie out of Boston. haha. How great would it be to find a crate full of 15 boxes in some underground forgotten bunker?

If you had to choose one to collect what would you choose.....1915 CJ or Jackie?

Don't know how long the kid in the sailor suit has been associated with the confection, but the entire time I was a boot through 1st class petty officer in the Navy, everyone called the dark blue dress uniform "Cracker Jacks".

...with an additional 32 subjects plus a handful of changed subjects between the two sets.
Here is a scan of six 1915 CJ's with the same player in a later Zeenut issue, just for the heck of it. The bottom four Cracker Jack cards wouldn't exist without the 'reprint'. Brian |

Everybody loves Cracker Jacks and for all the right reasons. There are 2 cards that draw my attention: the Hal Chase, being a replacement card for Frank Chance, and Eddie Rousch, as it happens to be his RC. Any serious '15 CJ set should have these cards.
