Default E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

My research indicates that the American Caramel Co. (ACC) issued the E91-A set of 33 cards
in mid 1908. And, then ACC followed it up with the 1st series of the E90-1 set in late 1908. I
do not accept the dating of "1909-1911".....it should be 1908-1910.

There is evidence that ACC printed its E91 series on sheets of 36 cards (containing 3 double-
prints on each sheet).

So, where does that leave us regarding the sheet format of the E90-1 series ? It's anyone's
guess. Obviously, 36 doesn't divide evenly into 120 cards. However, there certainly had to be
some double-prints. Frank W has suggested that Cobb was possibly one of the DP's. I would
add Plank as another DP.

Anyone else here have any ideas ?
