Evidence of E90-1 being printed before E102
A recent thread showed me that not all collectors understand what the first Caramel Issue was...it was the E90-1 American Caramel set issued in 1908...
Simple evidence proves this...
1. John Butler last played in 1907! Surely they wouldn't have made a e90-1 card of a common player after he didn't play an entire year! This card was made in spring 1908.....there are other examples that show e90-1 were from 1908
2. Dave Shean E102 was traded by Philly to Boston on July 16 1909 and he appears on Boston in his e102 so it would be IMPOSSIBLE for the E102 set to have been made in 1908...this card was made in 1909
The Cobb rookie baseball card (not a team card or postcard) is e90-1
