The popular 130-year-old snack, Cracker Jack, is well-known for those great prizes included in the boxes since 1912. Prizes, old boxes, advertising, baseball cards, premiums and other related items have made collecting Cracker Jack items an enjoyable hobby and an easy way to stay connected with one’s childhood.
