1915 Federal League Cracker Jacks

[Thrill-of-the-Hunt]

jim, this is so freakin funny that i hope you can take a step back and laugh a little. 1914 CJ's are so so tough to find unstained (for obvious reasons) randy's set was factory sent and the person who brought it the collecting world hand the orginal envelope it was sent in, the mathewson graded sgc 86 and jackson an sgc 98 (gem mint). a once in a life time acquisition.

the 1915's (a full year later) had pleny of mail in offers from the 1914 boxes, so makes sense on the availability. everyone already knows this.

bruce, thanks for the info on the panel. are you a set collector as well or mainly a type card collector?

have you obtained any of the other boston garter singles?

jim, btw, mansion at turtle creek IS a top top destination and has won every award available in the fine dining industry.

Don't worry. I always laugh at Bruce's stuff.

Really? I have never heard the thought that the 1914's were available direct from "the factory." If that is true, Then I learned something new today.

I thought Randy's set originated with someone who worked at the factory and acquired the cards that way.
