1915 Cracker Jacks
With the "hot money" now sniffing around pre-war and the perennial popularity of the Cracker Jack sets, I was still taken aback by a current Ebay listing; a 1915 Cracker Jack Joe Wood, PSA 2.5 with a current price of $4,400. To me, this is a $1,000 card, regardless of the fact that it is a CJ, featuring the ever-popular Joe Wood.
This does not feel normal. The speed of these massive rise in values is not a good thing for the hobby. We are racing towards a bubble. I can see panic selling of intrinsically worthless pieces of cardboard. Hope I am wrong.
