Default Eddie Plank Cracker Jack

I was hoping one of the Cracker Jack experts on this blog could give me some insight on why the 1915 Eddie Planks Beckett for more than the 1914 version? It seems to me that their have to be more 1915s out there than the 14 counter part. I was also wondering if the Beckett values mirrored how the card actually sells. Thanks for your time

This got me curious so I took a look at the VCP data. Recent sales show a 14 SGC 30 selling for $1,100 and a 15 SGC 40 selling for $900.

My take would be that the beckett guide is off, and people do value the 14 higher as one would expect. Although I am by no means a CJ expert.

The 15 sgc 40 for 900 is probably the one I just bought.. The newest Beckett price guide has the low grade Planks priced higher in the 15s, just seems strange to me, maybe it's just because most of the 14 s are low grade examples, so their are just more out there.

That's one of the conundrums I've been fighting. I'm looking for some low-grade Cracker Jack HOFers, and in my experience, the 1915s are near-impossible to find in low grade, since they were available via mail-in request. Conversely, the 1914s are next to impossible to find in high grade since they were only available in the product boxes, making even low-grade examples expensive. So:

1914s - expensive due to rarity of high-grade examples
1915s - near impossible to find in low grade, since they were well cared for (similar situation to 1933 Goudey Lajoie)

Thanks for the feed back, it makes sense that their would be more low grade 14rs and more high grade 15rs. I guess the market is so small that it's just a card by card on how much somebody will pay, I love my sgc 40 1915 plank, and since I'm not selling any time soon the value is no big deal to me..

I can relate to what you are saying. I have been wanting a low-grade 1915 Matty that presents decent for a while now. There hasn't been much in between absolute beaters and higher grade examples that are way out of my price range.

I've been looking for a low grade Grover Cleveland Alexander from either 14 or 15, but the ones that look half way decent are going for a fortune. I was hoping some 1.5-3's would show up from 1915 thinking they will be a bit cheaper, but I haven't gotten lucky yet
