1983 1915 Cracker Jack (reprint) Baseball Forum

Greetings - this started out as a discussion in inaccuracies, and it was suggest there to bring this to a forum post to increase eyes on the questions.

TCDB lists the Galasso Cracker Jack reprints as a 1993 issue.  PSA also lists this as a 1993 set. However, several other sources list this as a 1983 set. These include Beckett, Cardbarrel, Sportslots, and Comc. So the question is should this be listed as a 1993 set or a 1983 set. Note the cards have no copy write, and do not indicate they are reprints.

Granted, this is low on the things that matter in the universe scale. This is just accuracy for accuracy's sake.

Thanks, and GO!

Was she still printing cards in 1993? 

Someone must be confusing the Galasso set with the actual Cracker Jack set from 1993.

Note, this was changed to 1983.

According to Release Notes: "Produced to commemorate 100th year anniversary of the Cracker Jack company. No visual indication printed on card that it's a reprint."

But The Cracker Jack Company was established in 1871 and Cracker Jack confection introduced in 1896.  Neither coincides with 1983.

According to the FAQ, only unmarked reprints are allowed if issued by the original company. These are unmarked; so were they issued by Cracker Jack?

For reprinted cards, the following criteria must be met:

• The set must be produced by a registered company and added to the site organically by collectors (not by individuals of the company seeking to advertise or promote their product).
• The cards should have visual indication that they are reprints, unless the cards were produced by the original company.

Beckett says the 1993 reprint set was 24 cards and inserted in boxes of Cracker Jack.

So the Release Notes on this 176-card set are for official 24-card reprint set.  And this set we have listed doesn't meet listing requirements and should be removed.

I respectfully disagree with its removal. It was made by Galasso and there are other Galasso sets on this site.
