I like my 1914 Cracker Jacks Stained

For me CJs are hands down some of the best looking pre-war cards. I like them all but prefer some light staining.
Here’s a couple of my favorites-

great cards! a 6 ex-mt grade it the top for me for a vintage card, anything higher and it probably had work done lol

I can't be the only one in this thread that didn't think "Hmm, I should go check out some stained CJs on Ebay, might find one I like!"

ummmmm...

4 possibilities here:
1. I've got this totally wrong (distinct possibility, well not really, the card isn't even printed in the right direction!!!)
2. The expert graders got this totally wrong (I mean very unlikely, RIGHT???)
3. People are getting really good at cracking and swapping
4. There are some pretty nice counterfeit slabs with reprint cards

Which of the 4 do you think is most likely?

It looks like all kinds of wrong right from the jump to me. Just pointing out a few, of the many, red alerts.

Sad part is, it's got a bid and plenty of watchers already lining up to snipe it.

Keep in mind it does have the "fugitive ink technology" slab

Would it surprise me if PSA got this wrong? Of course not. But if this is a counterfeit slab, all I have to say is, Wow. That's a very good reproduction slab, if that's the case of course.

Yeah, I'm down to those two options. There really is no visible evidence of that case being opened. Certainly agree that if it's a counterfeit slab, they got the details correct it seems.

wow! that certainly would be a big shock. the dover reprints are on a completely different type of card stock. the staining looks legit. if that's a fake, someone did a heck of a job

..now that I look closer, I don't like the look of the paper in the upper left where there's visible wear. doesn't look right to me at all
