1915 Cracker Jack Advertising Card Joe Tinker Card?
So everyone knows the Cracker Jack Advertising Poster that REA sold in 2009. I recently purchased a "card" from a similar poster, I believe. Apparently someone meticulously cut the Tinker from the poster and now I have it. It is real, not a reprint (I looked at it under black light and it is on thick poster cardboard stock, and also the colors are magnificent (you can actually see some of the remaining black border where whoever cut it out left a touch). I actually printed out the Cracker Jack poster from REA's site and enlarged it to 11 X 14.5 like the original size, both front and back, and pasted the two together to see if the wording on the back matches the original, and it is a 100% match.
My questions are these: 1. Do you think a TPG would grade it as "Authentic"? 2. What would it be worth compared to a 1915 Cracker Jack card? (The "card" is in great shape with no creases and relatively sharp corners) There were only 3 cards that could be cut from the poster "Whole" and the other 2 are Cobb and Mullen. It is a travesty that someone would have "chopped" this up in 1915, but I guess back then, this really wasn't anything to be thought of!! Thoughts?? |

I doubt they would grade it even as "authentic" since it is not an authentic baseball card. It is a tiny part of a poster. Just my .02.

That's what I thought too, but it is nonetheless, a pretty cool item.

Those cutouts are neat. Here is the advertising poster that had sold at auction:
Here are my two cutouts from a poster. The Tinker (probably like yours) and a Frank Baker. However, the Frank Baker is not on this poster. However, it is located where Collins is on the poster. Thus, it leads me to believe that there were more than 1 type of poster. |

It's a bit of a technicality and not worth a lot, but I don't think the Mullen could be cut out and presented as "whole," because it looks like part of the Maranville card overlaps the lower-left corner.

I think the Cobb would be a pretty cool "card". and IMO, I don't feel it would be worthless (I mean it si still a Cobb collectible)

Yup, Rick. Mine could almost DOUBLE for your Tinker. Thanks for the reply.

1915 Cracker Jack Advertising Group
I posted these pictures quiet some time ago. I asked SGC if they would give them an "A" for authentic and they said no.
Not sure of the value but they are pretty cool. I am going to place them over a poster blow up as well, great idea !! |

Neat pices and I have seen several over the years, but people seem to like to price them as cards and alough I had interest I was not going to pay the same money for pieces from an add.
If you REALLY wanted them slabbed Beckett might slab them as they have done a lot of authentic. PSA and SGC will not. James G

I guess since it came from a poster vs a card is the reason that they won't grade it...(diff paper too)...but they do grade as "A" salesman sample cards from Topps and Bowman even if they are cut into indv pieces...

The TPGs grade the blank backed 'cards' cut from c1911 notebook covers; if they do that knowing they are cut from notebook covers, then I'd think they should grade these as well. However, my hunch is that they originally didn't know those were cut from notebook covers and started grading them thinking they were a UNC issue.

Schang, Archer, Barry & Wilson - all are NOT on the "Series 176" poster.
Note: Barry has "144" printed on back...... |

should be graded
I don't see any harm in those being graded by a TPG if labeled correctly. If I saw them in an SGC, BVG or PSA holder that said "AUT- Ad cut out", I don't think I would have heartburn over it. Everything else gets slabbed nowadays.

Cracker Jack McGraw ad card
I have a McGraw that judging by the whole ad sheet shown must have been on the bottom left. The back says "Place this" and the below in big letters "CR" just like the bottom left of the ad sheet shown. I attached a photo of front and back. I don't see McGraw in any of your posts or photos. Is there another poster?

It's bad form to bump old posts like this in order to ask to buy some. That's what the Buy/Sell/Trade board is for...

I would think Beckett would be most likely to holder it, as they are more liberal in what they entomb.

After seeing this thread pop up, I immediately saw that Jim B. was the first responder to the OP. I miss him.

Do these come in any other form where the back would be blank by chance?
Here's one I found ending tonight: https://bid.baileyshonor.com/ui/auct...12105/14229819 Quote:

Looks like some think its the real deal! Up to $800 before premium now! Quite the gamble on a reprint. Size doesn't measure up...

Ill admit, I actually put in a bid of $525 in hopes that it may have been a proof or something that came out in those years, but was not given to stores. Reason being is that this poster came from the late President of the Cracker Jack Collectors Association, so figured why would she have gone through all the trouble of having it matted, framed and hung on her wall. It also had the 2 punch holes at the top, but the back was blank so who knows. It being a replica is more than likely than it not.
