Well, that's the 1952 Topps story. But it's apples and oranges comparing '52 Topps and 1914 CJ's. Maybe popcorn and gum is more apt. Cracker Jack boxes did not let buyers know what prize was inside. A kid couldn't opt for a different prize the way kids in Sept. 1952 could opt for a pack of Football cards instead of a pack of baseball cards. Nonetheless, for whatever reason, a very stingy number of Series 2 cards were produced, no question about that.
