Take a guess what I found you rember I want to say about 3 or 4 years ago you showed a 1975 Carlton Fisk and asked all of us if we knew where that back ground photo was I think I might have said a Sheraton or a Marriott somebody made a video and went over where some cards were shot it's taken from a Soccer stadium and the hotel in the background is a Hilton.
I believe the products were sold at the game? So how much were cards worth back then you mentioned 100 cracker jack coupons or 1 coupon and 25 cents How much were the cards worth? So iwill guess 5.00 dollars in those days would equal about 50.00 to 100.00 today? how much were cards worth back then? I will guess Connie Mack is a manager? Eddie Collins I like that card collars up and old hat , This is a very famous set more famous than the 1922 set Tris Speaker turned sideways. I like Napeloan playing the field nice card so for Christy Mathiewson so if his 8 less rare 19 copies sells for 93,000 why is his 9 harder to find 6 copies sells for 78,000 what a'm I missing? I like the Walter Johnson , wow Ty Cobb a 9 504,000 wheres Ruth in a Redsox uniform? this is a very famous set so which sets do you like best 1910 tobacco cards? 1915 cracker jack candy cards? 1922 1933 Gaudy gum cards 1952 gum cards? which of these sets do all other collectors like and how do you think everybody would rank them?
They were inserted into boxes of Cracker Jacks. I don't think they were only available in boxes sold at games. I think they were included in boxes sold anywhere. I looked it up and a box of Cracker Jacks cost a nickel back in 1915. Since the cards weren't considered a collectible back then I would say they were "worth" between 5 cents and 10-15 cents depending on the player. I don't think anyone bought and sold the cards back then. If anything, kids traded them to get the players they wanted. So it's hard to say what they were worth back then. By the way, 5 cents back in 1915 is the equivalent to about $1.50 today. Yes, Connie Mack was a manager. For the Christy Mathewson in the different grades, it depends on how long ago a copy in the different grades has sold. If a card in a higher grade last sold 5 years ago, it probably sold for less than what one would sell for today. So if a lower graded copy sole more recently, it could have sold for more than the one that sold 5 years ago. I'm not sure why Ruth was not included in the set. He started his career in 1914 and I'm sure by 1915 he was considered a really good and popular player. I probably like the 52 sets more, then the Goudey sets, then tobacco cards, then the Cracker Jack cards, then the 1920 cards. But I like them all in their own way. I have no idea what other collectors would prefer from those sets or how they would rank them. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences when it comes to cards.
@@WadeBoggsFan it's hard to say as I didn't grow up with any of these sets. tobacco are cool cards , Gaudy the same Cracker Jacks are also great and 1952 gum cards 1922 caramel is in last place on my list.
Thanks for your time compiling and sharing the list, John. Nice, early color vintage set.

Well done John

Thanks Mike. I enjoyed looking into that set. I think we all wish we could have picked up certain cards years ago! 😃
Live CJ cards. You did a very good job. Thanks
Thanks Peter!
A complete set of 1915 Cracker Jack cards for a quarter? Sign me up!
I'll take 2! LOL $0.25 back in 1915 is the equivalent to about $8 today. Still a great bargain!
