Cracker Jacks, ’52 Mantle, Clemente Cards Join Rare Ad Poster at Auction

April 17, 2016 By Rich Mueller

As we reported last week, a newly discovered 1915 Cracker Jack advertising poster is headlining Mile High Card Company’s new auction, but we now know some of the cards from the first two sets will also be up for grabs when the auction opens Monday morning.1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb PSA 8

A 1914 Cracker Jack #30 Ty Cobb PSA 8 NM/MT has been consigned along with several other high-grade specimens including a 1915 examples of #3 Joe Tinker NM/MT+ 8.5, #32 Mordecai Brown NM+ 7.5, #93 Derrill Pratt MINT 9, #99 Hal Chase MINT 9, and #161 Edd Roush MINT 9.

The poster could be a six figure item.  Once used as a display piece in local candy shops to promote the Cracker Jack baseball card offered with each purchase of a box of the caramel covered popcorn, there are now less than five known to exist.

“It’s only fitting that such a rare and incredible piece of history starts off this event, but there are so many world-class items in what is one of our deepest auctions to date.” said MHCC President and CEO Brian Drent.

The auction also has over 75 T206 cards including Christy Mathewson with a Carolina Brights advertising back, a Hal Chase Holding Trophy Black Lenox back and two Green Portrait Ty Cobb cards.  There is also a complete T206 set (minus the ‘Big Four’).

Fans of pre-War cards will also find a 1933 Goudey Near Complete Set (237/240) with two Ruths and both Gehrigs All PSA 4 VG/EX, a high-grade 1965 Topps near complete set (424/598) with all cards graded PSA 8 or 9, a 1968 Topps Football near complete master set (214/220) ranked second on the PSA Registry and over 50 other complete and near complete baseball and football sets.
