Most entertaining conversation I may have ever had.

Told him this way a reprint. His response.

"The card has been in the family for 70 plus years along with 2000-3000 other cards I have sold out it. More than positive this would not have been reprinted in the 1950’s"

I didn't state anything about a 1950's reprint.

Hiccup.

Don't be so sure, Brian. CJs are universally known for their thick, chunky card stock.

And the conversation has continued with an eBay offer as well.

My statement:

"So, purple grass on a card you have had in the family for over 70 years."

His response:

"It’s called a stain very clearly can see that."

My response:

"A stain that covers every part of the grass in purple and nothing else in purple."

Now, for the offer in my messages:

"
eBay

Special limited-time 21% discount on 1915 Cracker Jack #50 John Hummel Nation."

Gentlemen,

I may be away from the computer for a while battling a strong case of hiccups.

Ignoring all the color issues that scream reprint, it's a 1915 back that isn't upside down, which isn't possible.

But it is no longer available
 

Did you pull the trigger on the special offer?

I won't bet $100 on this one. My check to the CJ Kid AKA Toe Moss mailed last week.

Missed your chance...

Don’t be a clown!

Second place. The rare 1914 Cracker Jack with the "176 subjects" on the back. I have not contacted this guy. I've had my hiccups quotient for the day.

Well...this seller has lots of wrestling toys and video games. I can't imagine that doesn't translate to specialized expertise in purple-grass, wrong-back, original, 100% genuine Cracker Jack cards. :rolleyes:

Tough to disagree there.

Hmmmm. I dunno.... Maybe gramps was stretching the truth a bit on that point.

:confused:

You sort of know when the description is "fast shipping" that something might be amiss...
