In the name of trying to "practice what I preach." This is a card I got recently. I got if from a fellow board member. I thought it was an E79 back....however Pete C. corrected me : Here's what he had to say (and copied with his (your as I know you read the board Pete) approval-


"And even better than I thought. That back, it isn't an E79...IT'S A E78!!! E79s say "27 Scrappers" on the back.
E78s are THE rarest candy boxing set and there is no sponsor, it's an
"Anonymous" issue as are e101s and E102s and your card proves the same cards that Dockman, Croft's, Nadja etc. sponsored were all printed in the same location and at roughly the same time as American caramel issues. E77s mention American Caramel and the E78 set matches it very closely in artistic style and the E78s were just assumed to be American Caramel as well - I don't think we can say that any more.

Very cool find. . . .

Pete"

happy collecting all......regards ...leon
