1914 Cracker Jacks are among the most notoriously condition sensitive pre-war sports card issues. High-grade examples are incredibly hard to find due to their thin paper stock and the fact that they were only made available by insertion inside boxes of the sticky caramel coated product (unlike their 1915 counterparts that were also available through a mail-in redemption program). Finding stain-free examples can be extremely difficult. In fact, third party grading services seem to have adopted some measure of tolerance for staining into their grading standards for '14 Cracker Jacks as opposed to '15 Cracker Jacks. Arguably Ty Cobb’s most visually impressive card, this PSA VG 3 example does have some remnants of light staining on the verso. Cobb's batting pose image is crystal clear and rendered against a deep red background surrounded by fairly clean borders. There are two small creases on the bottom and top corners respectively. Really well centered copy with bold color further contributes to the extraordinary visual appeal of this conservatively graded gem.
