Wow! No offense but in my opinion that Stallings looks a bit dirty for a 4.

Seems to me that the graders recognize that circulated CJs will bear caramel stains...so it is somewhat accepted for these cards (see also my PSA 4 Janvrin in post #26 for another example).

OK.......

How many total sets are out there Psa, SGC and others?

What are the hardest commons?

How many collectors on this forum are trying to put a set together? and what condition (grade span)?

Do you like the fact that your cards have slight staining on them to prove that they came out of a box or do you want sterile clean cards in any grade?

Here's my problem with Cracker Jacks, and its sort of my same issue with M116s...

How do you calculate for condition when there are so many that were found in pristine condition in envelopes many years later? There is just so much opportunity to be one-upped condition-wise, and I really don't think they look that great with staining -- even if staining is normal.

There are just too many high grade CJs on ebay even as I type this now to get a rationale value for lesser condition stuff, in my humble opinion.
