The Cicotte got a 2. I was hoping for more like a 3, although there are two minor creases on the card that aren't very visible. But I've seen a lot worse-looking 2's than this!
This Bender got only a 2.5!! There were no creases on this one at all - I was expecting at LEAST 2 points higher!
And the Bresnahan no number with the clipped corner ended up getting a 2 - I was happy with that, since I wasn't sure if this would have received just an "Authentic."
Thanks for the comments, guys. The Bender and maybe the Cicotte as well may go for a second opinion to the graders in New Jersey - I definitely had better expectations for those, but at least they weren't trimmed or anything like that!
This past weekend I was busy loading scans into my PSA set. I decided to combine scans of the 1915 and 1914 cards when there were variations. Here are 4 that I have done. I would love to see some of your 1914 variations.
I was so close on this one, but does anyone think that I've got a shot at a PSA 3? This had been graded using my renewal vouchers, although I'm not sure if that would make a difference in how the card was graded, would it? The staining my doom me, but take a look.....
The light hairline in the lower right-hand corner is a scratch in the slab, and not a crease.

Save your breath, guys. The fellas over at the CM Board have handed down their verdict: NO WAY, DUMMY...lol. Oh, well. That said, this Boehling card is now available if anyone needs it. Just PM with a low-ball offer so that I can get this thing out of my collection.

I totally agree with you, Rich, because it's way too subjective. I've got a few 3's that appear similar in condition, but with wildly different staining patterns, yet they retain the same grade. Yo no se!

I have several high end 1914 Cracker Jack cards for sale in the BST forum. Please take a look and let me know if you guys are interested in any of them.
My collection is relatively new, but I wanted to share the few cards that I had amassed since last July. It has been quite a task trying to complete this set in a PSA 3 across the board, but the difficulties I've encountered has made this very interesting, and I'm sure that most of you guys can relate to the thrill of the hunt. I've got several crossover/raw cards still pending, but the following 18 cards are the cornerstone of my very own '15 CJ set:

Cool thread & sweet cards! I spent a couple days reading & looking through it while I waited for this card to arrvie in the mail. Needless to say, it's a Holy Grail for me, and I never thought I'd find one in low grade with minimal staining. Now I just have to pick out some cards to sell to help pay for it.
Wow, you can't even see the roller marks... talk about a sweet "2"!!
I appreciate the comments on the Cobb, guys. The bottom right corner has a minor bit of surface loss, which is why it was knocked down to a VG grade. I have one other '14 CJ, and it still amazes me how thin these cards are -- you hold them up to the light and you can literally see through them.
This poster was mentioned a few pages back in this thread (by stormsurge), and it should be interesting to see where this ends up. Just an amazing piece.
Thanks again, Teddy. I just picked up four more 3s, and as for the Pop 0s, I may have to crack and bend a few PSA 5s for resubmission
Also, for those of you who care, I'll be entering my set into the Registry once my submissions return from PSA in a couple of weeks. I sent in a number or reholders and some raw cards, and once they're in my hands, I'll be up there with the rest of the big boys.

I apologizing for posting this here but I believe most people here will be interested. I just listed a bunch of nice PSA and SGC graded 1914 cracker jacks on ebay. Here is a link. If anybody wants to make me an offer on any of the cards feel free to email me at racer361984@yahoo.com.
Yes, very nice to see some actual auctions for these cards for a change (as opposed to searching for "1914 Cracker Jack", getting 267 results, then clicking on the "auctions only" tab to get only 2 results ).

I acquired most of the cards from private sales. This includes the Cobb which I bought around 1 - 2 years ago.

The chip on the Mack makes for a nice mate with my Bresnahan on the previous page!
BTW - let me check with Phil to see if he's got my stuff ready, then we'll figure out a time to meet up!
