E126 appreciation thread
 

I thought I'd get a thread going to show some love for the E126 series of American Caramels...they are sort of hard to find and not as well known as some of the other E cards.... this is my recent pick up for my type collection. :)

I've shown it before but here is my wierd printing anomaly E126 Emil Meusel (front and back both pictured)...

thin stock and scarce
 

Compared to the other cards of the earlier years (E120,E121) these are quite scarce. They seem to be on thinner stock and are rarely found in high grade....

I have a complete set. Here are a few:

E126 photos
 

Does anyone have any idea of when these photos were taken?

The photo for the E126 Sam Rice card had to have been taken several years before the 1927 issue date. I say this because the same photo of Sam Rice was used for his M101-6 Felix Mendelsohn card which was issued circa 1919. I can't help with any of the others.

It was only 10 yrs ago....
Funny how cards trade hands in the hobby. (wish I had that Cobby back :))
