Which is the most rare 1914 Cracker Jack?

[fkw]

Id say only 1 card is rarer than all the others, the (overrated) Bresnahan error variation with no number...
But other than that, Why would any of the cards be rarer than the others?

With 144 different cards, Id think they were printed in sheets of 12X12, 1 card per sheet? Does anyone know more about the sheet(s), and are there any other cards that have variations??

Pop reports can help but will be slightly off because many E145-1 common players in low condition never see a slab...

I found that Harry Hooper and Del Pratt to be pretty tough to find . Rob

My vote:

Been collecting 1914s for a while and have found the higher numbers as mentioned to be significantly tougher. There are quite a few commons with combined pop reports in the mid teens or lower which hints at the rarity and scarcity of the set in general.
The bresnahan no number is very tough!! I have been looking for a decent one for quite some time and do not think a card so tough to find can be called overrated (just my opinion!).

BigB13,

Just for display, I picked up this 1914 Cracker Jack Hooper on eBay several years ago. It was advertised as slightly trimmed:

I was able to get to 125/144 before I sold the set off. I had all of the HOF players but I would agree the Pratt is the toughest.

That Del Pratt card is fantastic. Rob

I just picked up this Hooper, not bad for a psa1 a little dirty with a tiny pin hole. Rob http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Sounds like there might be a Pratt hoarder out there somewhere...as Frank said, no reason to believe there is any short-print.

As James said, the Matty is not rare - this is confusing supply with demand. It is a high demand card b/c the pose appears only in 1914.
