1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson #88

Pleasant to look at yet the cut and centering keep it from that elite top range.

This card survives my cycloptic scan with its dignity intact. I detect higher-end Eye Appeal. Centering, a sloping, irregular cut (bottom edge), and corner wear are logged as flaws that affect aesthetics. EyeBot shares the human affinity for caramel stains on these Cracker Jack cards.

Really nice example of this card. Stains and centering are the only things holding it back

I like stains on my CJs. centering, lower edge and corners are the problems. Colors and image are strong.

The stains to me are a plus on this card, especially when they don't get in the way of the main image. Bottom cut I do notice and side centering. Corners are not a problem for me here.

Hard to find a card like this stain free. I actually like the caramel stains as the 1914’s came out of the actual Cracker Jack boxes. This is cleaner than most and has nice colors and nice size borders but off centered as most are. These are keepers in almost any condition but in this condition it needs to be displayed but locked up

Very nice image. Minor staining throughout the card but don't really hold it against the '14 CJ.
