Probstein - '15 Cracker Jacks

[Yoda]

Don't know how many followed the nice group of '15 CJ's Probstein had on auction last week but the auction results were impressive. I got shut out on all my bids, which I thought were at least competitive. For example, a McGraw PSA5 went for over 6k. Just shows the eternal appeal of the cards and bidders waiting in the wings for any opportunity to pounce.

I was debating whether I should go up to 8K on the 1915 CJ Alexander PSA 5....yup, $12.5K.

That was a big sale, with some very big cards. I came up empty as well in my bidding. The Cracker Jack market is red hot right now, which bodes well for the cards I already hold -- not so much for my chances of ever building the set.

If one had an SGC 9 common CJ 1915--would it be worth sending to PSA, even though likely to only get an "8"?

[skelly423]

A common Cracker Jack in that condition is a no-brainer to submit, regardless of the likely grade PSA might give.

I know some board members hate on Probstein, but cards in his auctions do well. And yes, CJs are red hot right now.
