1915 Cracker Jacks

[VintageVinnie]

I'm new here, so forgive me if this has been discussed in the past..I have always been curious..On the reverse of the '15 CJ's, it states you can receive the full set of cards for something silly like 1 coupon and 25 cents. You could also receive the "handsome album" for 1 coupon and 10 cents to hold the cards. Has anybody ever seen one of these original albums with a complete set of CJ's?...or even better have a picture of one? What an attic find that would be!!

Here is an example of a set in an album. As you can see, the album is very crude. Basically construction paper. This one has corner slots for the cards to be inserted, but I have also seen albums that do not have these and the cards needed to be pasted or taped in. This set sold for over $150K in 2008 by Sotheby's.

Its just construction paper like kevin said, I haven't seen one w/o the pockets for the cards but kevin has seen a lot more than I have. You used to see them for sale once or twice a year then they dried up and this one has been the only one one ive seen seen for about 5 years now.

Great write-up by Sotheby's along with larger pictures. That is a beautiful set!
