I love the 1915's. As a teacher, they are a bit more affordable than the 14's, but you have the added challenge of the 32 more cards. With the red background, even collecting them in PSA 1, as I am, the cards usually still pop and have nice eye appeal. Also, something about holding a 100 year old piece of cardboard with the caramel stains on them is just pretty darn cool.

Sorry for reviving an older thread. Although I have a few pre-war cards I have little knowledge of them. I'm sure that the answer that I am seeking is terribly obvious so forgive my ignorance. I own one CJ and have had it for quite awhile. How do I determine if this is a 1914 or 1915 Sam Crawford? I know that SMR is no more than reference tool and does not reflect real world value. However, the difference in the values listed between the 1914 and 1915 card is pretty significant. After reading this thread I now understand why. That being said how do I distinguish between the two years as they look the same to me? I have no desire to sell it nor do I ever plan on grading it but I would like to know what I have. The vertical lines to the left and right of the boarders are from my scanner. There are no creases on it. Any opinions on what it's value would interest me as well. Thanks in advance for any assistance or information.

Nice Crawford, and you dont have to aplogize for talking about cjs.
That is definitely a 1914. The ad on the back reads "10 million copies" versus the redemtion offer on the 1915, plus the back is oriented properly to the front versus upside down on the 1915s...if that card isnt trimmed (standard measurements are 3" x 2 1/4"), it is worth a pretty penny...Ill let the 1914 guys give a better approximation.

1914
2 very different sets...
the 1914 is simply a bear to find above 3... the 1915 there are many above 7.... i like the stains and the RAT EATEN EDGES of the 1914's.....
