Where have all the PSA 8 1915 Cracker Jacks gone?

[glchen]

BTW, not my stuff, but there are a few high grade 1915 Cracker Jacks, mostly SGC, in the current legacy rarities auction at Link

who do you feel is the toughest card in the set Louis? Jack Barry?

It seems as though the last card in the set has proven to be as tough as they come. If you see a Hippo in an "8", buy it. If you see a hippo in the wild, leave!!! One of the deadliest animals. We don't have many here in Missouri but that's off the point of this thread.

This is not a set people tend to part with easily.
If someone has to sell of their collection,
the more 'common' expensive cards go first (Topps/Bowman issues)
You can always get a Mantle Rookie '53 Topps Robinsons, etc
as those cards show up on auctions monthly.
But Cracker Jacks don't.

Interesting points.

I agree that the prices have softened on these cards. I also agree that more SGC cards in these higher grades seem to be offered than PSA examples.

In this years REA, for example, there were about 10 PSA 8s, and about 35 SGC 88, 92 and 96 cards.

I bought Joe Wood in PSA 8 and Harry Hooper in SGC 88. The Hooper is by far the superior card. I got both cards for considerably below the prices recorded in the last few years...like about 33%-50% less...
