The 2004 Topps Cracker Jack set, based on the 1914 Cracker Jack set, consists of 250 total cards; 197 base cards, 3 base variations, 40 short prints and 10 short print variations. The design is the same, however the size of the cards have been resized to today's standard format. Several players from the original set are also reprinted in this set including Nap Lajoie, Bert Shotton, and Branch Rickey. Some of cards backs are upside-down, a tribute of the original 1914 cards as they made to fit inside a special album.
