Were the Cracker Jack cards printed on thin paper?

I’ll be looking at two slabbed HOF 1914 Cracker Jacks next week, Eddie Collins and Fred Clarke - excited to see them (even though they’ll likely be outside my price range).

My most fragile card is the 9 Rogers Hornsby W512 just picked up yesterday (see my other thread).

I picked up a lot of t206’s on the BST a few years back. The Clark Griffith portrait is in dire straights.

Out w/SGC for slabbing right now. Hopefully won't be rejected as too delicate to undergo the process. N269:

I feel like we need to set a timer until Brian's Goudey Ruth makes its appearance.

Here is my 1933 Goudey Ruth...just kidding. Goudeys are thick and fairly indestructible cards...you have to mean spirited for them to end up looking like mine. Instead I show this T216 Kotton of Evers. The cards from this set are on very thin paper, and if not careful, they end up looking like this:

This postcard was in pretty rough shape when I rescued it from a cigar box at a local paper show. The crease down the middle is pretty deep and not many more fibers holding it together.
