1914 cracker jack frank chance

[Archive]

Posted By: Nex

Chance was only issued in the '14 set- he was replaced by Hal Chase in the '15. Along with a handful of other players (Cashion, Lord, Callahan, and a few others I can't recall without my notes) who only appear in the '14 set, anyone looking to get one of each player for a combined set would have only one choice-'14.
For reference, I picked up my SGC 40/3 Chance last month from a board contributer for 1136. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5215977919&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEAFB%3AIT&rd=1 ) It was well below my max snipe. Bill Goodwin also had one in his case at the National, I believe it is in his next auction. Interestingly both his and mine have decent corners on 3 ends, and the lower left very rounded.
Besides these 2 I've seen one other on ebay in the last year that went for about 1400. in similar condition (I beleive) and one that was part of a Lipset lot a year ago as well. None of these are the same card.
Hope this helps.
