1914 Cracker Jack Branch Rickey #133

Very nice image and red background. The caramel staining isn't too bad

As I was just typing in the review of another card, some cards just look great with the right type of wear in the right places— like ripped jeans, a leather jacket, or a fighter with a cool scar. Such is the case with this CJ Rickey. I always prefer some caramel stains on my CJs, and the centering here is inside my strikezone. There is nothing that bothers my eye within the image or red, which is key for me on this set. The lower left damage doesn't even tempt me to go into the A- badge, because when I step back and enjoy the card as I would in my collection, that just does not impact the enjoyment like centering or a blemish in the red would.
