The Cracker Jack baseball card series of 1914 and 1915 are the most popular caramel cards ever produced. Accurate player depictions replicated from photographic images set against a brilliant red background is the hallmark of the series. Their timeless design and ideal player selection has made the issue a favorite among collectors since the earliest beginnings of the hobby of card collecting.
Nap Lajoie's Cracker Jack representation is hands down the most visually impressive and highly coveted card ever issued for the inaugural Hall of Fame inductee. This particular example of the key #66 entry from the 1915 Cracker Jack issue appears ageless. Lajoie's full-body image is sharp with a near photographic quality. The dark red background is flawless surrounded by clean white borders. Both surfaces are completely free of the staining that typically affects so many of its contemporaries and all four corners and edges remain pristine and unaffected by handlers. This is one of only six examples of this card to receive a MINT 9 grade from PSA with none higher.
