FS: 1914 CJ Ed Konetchy #118 hi number - one of the super toughies!

[scooter729]

Hi,

I am accepting offers on the pictured 1914 Cracker Jack #118 Ed Konetchy. This is one of the SUPER tough high numbers!

According to the combined pop reports that were assembled last month on the main board, this is the 7th toughest 1914 CJ - with only 21 combined cards graded between PSA and SGC. The 6 tougher ones have 16-20 copies graded, so this is right there as one of the hardest CJ's to find! Pratt has a pop of 19, so this is right there in the same neighborhood!

The condition is decent for the most part for a '14 CJ - the biggest issue is a slight tear in the upper right border (to the right of the "K" in "Jack", and visible on the back to the left of "Edward" in the first line of text). Top corners look nice, bottom corners have more wear.

With the current craze on '14 CJ's and this being a low pop high number, I am not sure how to price it. I will consider all offers - though I am not positive I want to sell it right now. PM with any interest.

Thanks for looking!
Scott

I have received several offers on the card already - thanks to all. I intend on waiting until the end of tonight to consider any other offers and hopefully find a new home for this very tough card.

Let me know any questions you may have for me on this, and PM with any offers. Thanks again for the interest!

Thanks to all for the interest on this card! I am going to change it up a bit here.

I will accept any bids until tonight at 9pm ET. I will post the high bid at that time, if the current high bid has been topped. Any prior bidders will have a 5 minute window to then top the current high bid. It can be done either posting here in this thread, or via PM (as one bidder has requested to remain anonymous). If done via PM, I will post the bid to this thread ASAP.

As soon as 5 minutes passes without a bid, the card is sold!

The current high bid as of right now is $760.

Thanks!
Scott
