Frank, the two Holsum Amos Strunk cards both show him as a White Sox, however both show his position as R.F.. His E121-80 shows his position as C.F.. Another interesting point is the Holsum of him in a standing pose (similar to E135) has the caption "R.F.-Chicago White Sox". His Holsum with the same pose as E121-80 has a caption "Chicago Americans". Third interesting point is that the two Holsum ad backs are slightly different. Conclusion: there may be two different Holsum series. I've had about 15 Holsums, and I've had several with each different ad back. Last point, I also have a Gassler's Bread of Strunk, same pose and caption as E121-80 "C.F.-Chicago Americans". Sounds like an OC article....
