Cobb is my favorite player so his Cracker Jack card has been one I've admired since before I even knew the Mathewson existed. Looking at it in terms of which card I would be most reluctant to part with (if I had them), Cobb is number 1. My personal ranking would be:
1. Cobb CJ
2. Jackson CJ
3. Jackson rookie
4. Mathewson
5. Ruth
They're all awesome of course but I don't value the scarcity quite as much as some. With the Ruth it's always bugged me that it's a picture from his Sox days but a Yankee card, so that is a distant 5th.
Ryan, I realize to a serious collector like you putting the Mathewson 4th is sacrilege.
