Cracker Jack Questions

[usernamealreadytaken]

As far as the "album" for the 1915s, does anyone have pictures of this?

See below for the two fonts. The top seems consistent with the rest of the type, whereas the second is more italic. Just curious.

Ditto for your first two questions, and as for #3, I too had never heard of that, but your pics reveal something interesting. In fact, I may have to crack out my set tonight and see if the '15 CJs exhibit the same font variations.

Thanks for sharing.

I noticed that the word "Stars" is capitalized in the second photo, but not the first.

Are those two scans of the same player?

Wow....you can still learn something new about our old cardboard treasures.....I never noticed this.

My three #134 Marsans' have the non-italicized "144".

Which card is which?

Thx,

Mark

I am not a CJ collector but I'm reading this thread and I'm just thinking how awesome this freakin' site is, all the tidbits of info shared in every collecting niche...someone should be compiling all this info and write a book. 1, 2, 3 - not it!

Griffins - I was hoping you would show up. NIce album, I remember reading your posts awhile back on upgrading and you sold you other album.

4reals - there is a book coming out next fall I believe...coffee table style with pictures but a lot of information and heavily researched.

+1. A Wikipedia-like repository for vintage bb card info would be supercalifragilisticxbalidocious (sp?) (in other words, fantastic)!
