I Prefer My Cracker Jacks Stained

[yanks4]

Thank you...Took 8 years to put a solid mid grade set together mostly centered and stain free...mostly......some cards are extremely tuff in mid grade ..they are not hard in low grade or even high grade but mid grade can be very tuff.......I am talking about 4s - 7s.....Enjoyed every minute but had to swallow hard a couple of times.......... LOL

Marty where'd you get that box? It's super cool. And what's the CJ sticker say on the lid?

AJ, it looks like a small digital copy of the reverse off the original 1915 Cracker Jack point of sale.

Thanks Tony...I have a nice copy of the front of that on the top of the box with red matting around it. Looks nice and finishes off the box for Cracker Jacks......

They do rule! It's with a heavy heart but a much heavier wallet :-) that I sold my '14 set last night to a collector who loves them as much as I do. It was the #3 set on the PSA registry. The fire to keep upgrading had diminished and it felt like a good time to move on. Don't think this is the end of the CJ line for me though. Can't say I'll ever have the tenacity to build another set but can't imagine not owning one or two of the beloved red devils.

Prefer the whole card, what about 3/4's of a card??
