1915 Cracker Jack #23 Charles Comiskey (PSA NM 7)
Loaded with many of our National Pastime's Cooperstown inductees, many enthusiasts consider the Cracker Jack issues to be amongst the most popular pre-WWI cards manufactured. Issued in 1914 and 1915, their colorful lithographic images and vibrant red background hues provide the ultimate picturesque quality sought after by elite collectors. One of the Hall of Famer subjects, Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey, is offered here in an outstanding PSA Near Mint 7 holder, with only 10 other PSA examples surpassing this hallowed assessment! Hall of Fame 1st baseman and owner Charles Comiskey is famous for being the founding father of the Chicago White Sox, and being their owner for 31 years.

On the field, he revolutionized the 1st base position by allowing pitchers to cover the bag on ground balls hit wide of 1st base, and he was one of the original managers to position fielders for different batters. Adorned with his famous hat, Comiskey's portrait image is absolutely brilliant, set against a brilliant fire engine red background. Although the image does favor the left edge, the super clean borders, razor sharp edges and right-angled corners and aforementioned world-class illustration more than offset the somewhat off-centering. Exhibiting an abundance of "pack fresh" qualities, if you are building a superior Cracker Jack set or simply assembling high grade Hall of Famers, then you should seize this stellar Charles Comiskey specimen that merits serious attention from any sophisticated collector!
