This 20-card candy set included a number of future Hall of Famers, with "Ol' Pete" Alexander among them, on the heels of arguably his greatest single season, which included winning the pitching Triple Crown of wins, ERA, and Ks. Oxford Confectionary must have packed their stuff securely, as his card lacks the sugar stains seen on so many Cracker Jack cards from 1914-15. Its SGC FR 1.5 offers wear typical of cards this old, as well as those that used full-bleed dark borders: edge chipping, corner rounding, and surface creasing with light surface flaking. Tough set regardless of technical grade, so makes a great opportunity for an accessible star card from a obscure and innovative set, as well as one that features an unusual photo!
