Yes I am familiar with the Cracker Jack cards and I think it is great when you see some that survived and are in nice condition with the natural staining. These unfortunately have paper loss but that said if you want the cards you can't be super picky. My situation was perfect because I got the chance at nice cads and they were nice cards. There are really not any other cards from the modern era of professional wrestling that you can't find in a short period of time in some form. That is one of the really cool things about older wrestling cards like Rob collects where something might not surface for years or you find a new card you didn't even know existed. Collecting is fun on so many different levels. |

Seeing the Bobby Eaton card reminded me of Jim Cornette mentioning many times on his podcast that Eaton was the nicest guy in the wrestling business; nice to a fault.
Cornette told a story of he and the Midnights stopping at a liquor store in a sketchy part of Dallas one night after the matches to buy some beer and soda. Ten homeless guys are sitting in front of the liquor store, and Cornette was too scared to leave the car. Eventually, Cornette and Dennis Condrey are in the car waiting for Eaton to come out of the store, wondering what is taking him so long. Finally, Eaton comes out of the store with his arm around a vagrant. The homeless guy was smoking a cigar that Eaton had bought him. Eaton had also gotten talked into buying a grocery bag of booze and food for this guy he just met. Upon seeing this, Dennis Condrey told Eaton that he just got that guy murdered when all the other bums see that the guy has a supply of booze and food. ![]() Here is the link to a couple Cornette stories about Eaton being the nicest guy in wrestling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udy1nhEw2Y8

Over the last couple months, I have binge listened to hours and hours of old Cornette podcasts. I would occasionally see a story that he told referenced on one of the wrestling boards I read, but I didn't realize how informative and entertaining his podcast is until I listened for myself.

When you do an SMR story you never know when it is coming out. I got a text from Rob that I saw at 3:30 AM that it was out and had a hard time going back to sleep. I decided to go out to the mail kiosk at 5:45 just to see if maybe the magazine was there and it was. I am really excited about this article. It really came out great!
Here are the scans. |
