Finally got myself a Hippo! I have been looking for one of these for a while and finally I was able to get one in PSA 5 for now until I'm able to find a better one. This is one of the toughest card in the 1915 Cracker Jack Set.
Always looking for 1915 Cracker Jack in PSA 7's & 8's!
Congratulations! - I struck out on the three I really wanted but managed to get two other cards one of which was a PSA 6 that I think I got a great price on.
Oh and here is a link to the Mastro auction that had the recent PSA 10 CJs for sale - you can click on the video link and it tells the story behind them. I thought it was fairly interesting.
I was watching the three tonight from Storm. Since I got back the last batch from PSA was my last addition. There has been too many t3's on ebay! I found this pic online WOW
Storm I am too much of a bottom feeder! Seems like you good some good prices! I just jumped to 28% on the t3's, but I think I need to rest those for a few months.
Rip (or anyone else if he passes) - I have a #165 Murphy SGC 30 if you're interested - not a high end card but nice and wow 28% on t3 is a nice accomplishment!
Have you picked up any 15' Cracker Jack lately?? Tonight I was lucky enough to win , one of my favorite card of the 1915 Cracker Jack set. Here is a scan of it.
Take care!

lost out on EVERY '15 Cj last night! Dam I need to up the ante! Diggin through the crate, I noticed how nice this set really is, and I believe 176 cards will fit nicely in an MJ Roop box! Any PSA 1-3's hanging out collecting dust?
I lost out on the three psa 3's the other night, they sold waaay over VCP's prices. I had to take a break from my 55 set, now I might have to take a break from this one GEEEZ. Picked up 4 more 54 red man's with tabs and the toughest t9 in the past few weeks. Also, I won 2 lots of t9's from leland's and an auto on my 55 dodgers set...Wait why am I complaining...I sold over 2k worth of stuff...only reason I went kinda nuts. Sometimes you dont realize what you did with the week until you think about it!
After laying off CJ's for a while to work on other stuff I've picked up a few lately. I never cease to be amazed by the shear beauty of such a simple design. Check out the cool uni of the Federal League Baltimore Terrapins in the last card.

big auctions for the 1914 CJs tonight on the BAY....some PSA 1s went for $140, psa 2 $160, psa3 $180, psa4 $200 psa 5 $300......they seem to be gaining momentum...
seems like a small increment between 2's and 3's and 4's. '14's are so much tougher in 4's and 5's it's like 7's and 8's in '15. I would've expected more of an exponential jump in levels.

Those are some powerful Cracker Jacks. Did you buy any from the set breakup Mastro auctioned last year...the Maranville was a 10, and there was a bunch of HOF 9's and 8's.
Theres also a set of them in the original album from Sothebys/SCP coming up...
Have you noticed how few of these have been for sale via Auction on EBAY lately......this really stinks! the BIN and Ebay Store Prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!!
There have been lots of mastro lots broken up on ebay- I think in some ways it's more of a wholesale auction. I guess the flippers are trying their hand at landing a whale thru bin prices. If they get stuck with them they'll lose, but based on the T200 and E90-2 sets it would seem that buying and quick flipping can make a substantial profit.

None for me, there has been a boatload of Turkey reds I have been bidding on. I am doing the set in PSA 1-4 and there has been nothing but an overpriced Mtty on ebay
