Cracker Jack paper stock 1914 vs 1915
 

Posted By: <b>Matthew</b><p>I was just looking at the OC website & noticed it said 1914s have a "thin paper" stock. I only have a couple 1915s so I can't compare with a 1914 but the 1915s are pretty fragile in my opinion. My question is - just how thin are the 1914s? Like a piece of notebook paper ? I guess they also don't have that marbled texture that the 1915s have. <br /> <br />If they are as thin as I imagine (especially since OC says 1915s are on "heavy paper") how in the world have any survived?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My favorite part about the CJs is the biography on the backs.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.viaboomimage.com/is.php?i=61398&img=cjb.JPG">

They are more like "baseball papers" instead of "baseball cards".<br /><br />If you're going to collect CJs, I'd suggest buying a F to G 1914 one, unslabbed, from a reputable dealer, so you'll know what you're looking for.
