About Cracker Jack Baseball Cards

Video Transcript

"My name is Walt Case I own Card Traders of Austin in Austin Texas. We sell a variety of sports cards ranging from Nascar to baseball to football to hockey to basketball and also sports memorabilia. Question has been raised what about cracker jack baseball cards. Cracker Jack produced cards back in the early nineteen hundreds. I'm sure many of us have bought boxes of Cracker Jacks in our lifetime for the toy that was inside. Well in nineteen fourteen and nineteen fifteen Cracker Jacks actually put baseball cards in their product. Those cards have become extremely rare, extremely hard to find and extremely valuable. Probably the most valuable card out of that set was a shoeless Joe Jackson card ranging in price in average condition from ten to twenty thousand dollars. If you should find a shoeless Joe Jackson card from the original Cracker Jacks set you've got a nice little piece of property on your hands. Cracker Jacks some of the companies also produced some Cracker Jacks cards later in the terms of reprints in the late nineteen hundreds, nineteen nineties and those cards have just minimal value. They are reprints of the original cards from the nineteen fourteen and nineteen fifteen Cracker Jacks set. If you should be fortunate enough to latch on to a nineteen fourteen or nineteen fifteen Cracker Jacks card, please give me a call. We'd love to talk to you."
