Altered 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson
I noticed in the recent Heritage Auction that there was a 1914 CJ Matty with a large piece cut off the corner. I owned another one like that some years ago. I've also seen a number of Mattys with the same problem, though it isn't always the same corner. I'm wondering if anyone knows a reason for this. I haven't noticed it with other players in the 1914 set. I'm no expert on that set, so I'm hoping some of you have an answer.

Could they have been marked as redemptions from a local candy store promotion?

Great question Sean! I have nothing to contribute but I sure hope we get some answers.
A redemption is an interesting theory, but why just Matty? Could it somehow have to do with the fact that its only in 1914 (no 1915 equivalent)

I was always was under the impression- talking with older dealers-- the corners were susceptible to be torn off after being removed from the original cracker jack boxes. Matty is not the only player from the 14 set you see with corners missing. I have seen almost every player with a corner missing on my journey to collect the set.
