Dan Beemsterboer This may seem like an odd question, but I have always been curious on the print amounts for certain card series. Ever since I saw the back of the 1914 Cracker Jack card the question been in the back of my mind. The Cracker Jack Cards state that the first run was 10,000,000 picture cards. Does anyone think that this many cards were produced? I guess the second question would be if they produced this many how many currently survive, 10%, 25%, 50%? This question could pertain to any of the early T, E and W Card series. For my specific collection, I would be interested in knowing what the print totals were for the Sporting Life M116 Cards, B - 18 Blankets (I know the red infield variations have very few examples and would be interested in knowing how many of each actually exist, I have only ever seen one for sale), and the 1921 Exhibits. I know there are probably not any definite answers, but would be interested in what some of the members of this forum might think.
