Peter, how many Cracker Jacks have you held under a black light to see if they fluoresce?

Back in the late 80s, when I got back into cards, blacklights and loupes weren't in wide use at all. Now I have both, and have examined all my pre-war. If any are indeed fake, they're so good I can't tell. Good enough for me.

At least 17 but I will have to check my notes.

Thanks again for the opinions and help with this - this card is for my PC and I happen to like the look better this way but understand it may not be the same view held by all… and that’s ok. 99% of the time, I’ll only be looking at Eddie from his front side anyway so this is largely moot.

(Now, where is that “turn off comments” button so I can help prevent this thread from deteriorating into a Net54 scrum?)

In my opinion, it does look better, sir!

the back wasn’t gonna look good no matter what - it’s either gonna have some paper loss or it’s gonna look like somebody wiped their butt with it
