One of the most widely-collected non-Hall of Famers of his era, Smoky Joe Wood was a three-time World Champion who led the league in victories during the 1912 campaign.  He passed in 1985 and maintained a long history in baseball, so his signature is not particularly difficult to find - except, of course, on cards from his playing days.  This signed 1915 Cracker Jack Wood is the only one certified by PSA/DNA - and only two other players - Hofman and Roush - have had signed Cracker Jack cards authenticated by PSA/DNA (we were responsible for introducing the Hofman to the hobby).  The clarity of the image, brightness of the background, and boldness of the signature draw our attention away from the bottom corners, which have been lost to the vagaries of time.  A condition upgrade is simply not possible for this one-of-a-kind gem.  Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
