A prize!

Found at the same antique shop as last week’s freaky dolls,
kept under glass at $35 a top.
Don’t you wish you had saved your childhood Cracker Jacks prizes now?

    I am the WORST investor. I miss the “buy low” every time. Don’t even ask me about my history with real estate… arrghhgh (i have lost more than $35, let me tell you!)
    And now I am craving cracker jacks!!! I knew I should have turned off my computer. I have no business blog hopping at 1:38am… Now I have to go find something sweet and salty to eat…

    Great pic – and I remember pulling those out of cracker jack boxes. Which means I am an antique as well.

    Cracker Jacks were a special treat my Grandfather always shared with me. Just the thought of them makes me smile.

    Yes there was a time when Cracker Jack has good prizes. Not silly jokes and tattoos.

    So funny what people think things are worth. I used to love Cracker Jacks.

    I love the composure of this shot. The sharpness of the foreground and fading background is a nice touch which emphasizes the colors rather than the content. Very visually pleasing. Nicely done.
    Your description and question make me wish I kept my childhood baseball cards. I sold the whole box as a teenager for 5 bucks! Idiot!
