Collectors of the T206 set have an entire subculture of collectors who chase off-registered cards miscuts and other print anomalies. The many well-documented examples of poor turn-of-the-century quality control help T206 scholars better understand print techniques sheet placement cutting methods and other questions that have been lost to history.Cracker Jacks though aren"t really known for this sort of thing. The vivid reds and clean borders have long made these beautiful cards a favorite among prewar collectors as do their tie-in with the American institution that is Cracker Jack. They"re simply gorgeous cards. The primary issue with Cracker Jacks condition-wise deal with the staining that comes from the popcorn and caramel inside a Cracker Jack box along with the centering issues common to the era. While there are a great deal of stained or off-center CJs available we don"t often see print defects. Presented here is that rare anomaly one of two 1915 Cracker Jacks we"re offering in this auction that suffer from not one but two print defects. This Joe Boehling despite being graded EX 5 (MC) by PSA suffers not only from the appearance of a miscut right edge but is severely out of register.We reviewed this card (and its companion in this auction) with several prewar collectors at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention and it was pretty clear - these cards are weird and certainly uncommon for the issue. Indeed while population reports are by no means an accurate gauge of things like this PSA has graded more than 10 000 1915 Cracker Jacks and only about 3% were graded with a qualifier of any kind - and as we know qualifiers could be for centering marks general print defects or miscuts. In this case we are dealing with a card that boasts printing so out of register that PSA got the impression that the card was miscut. In reality the card is properly cut but the off-registered deep red is so far to the right - a full sixteenth of an inch - that the cut appears off. Looking at the rest of the card - the lettering the image and the other colors - you"ll see that the card is actually not miscut at all. It"s nearly dead-centered with the print defect butting up against the right edge of the card.Asid
