Question about 1921-23 National Caramel E220 cards...
 

Posted By: <b>Dustin Thompson</b><p> I have recently purchased some really nice vintage cards (and modern) from a man that just recently inherited a HUGE collection from his grandfather. Well, there was an odd Ty Cobb card in there that I thought was just junk -mainly because I had never seen one and it looked like something that was cut out of an old magazine - so I passed on it. Very thin paper, but in good condition. When I got home, I typed in Cobb National Caramel on eBay and saw one PSA 1 in completed. I have found the sizes of these cards, but I really need to know the thickness or at least what type of paper. I have picked-up some nice cards from this man, and I really doubt this card to be a reproduction, I just thought it to be cut from a magazine or something...oh well. It is still there, and I could get it with no problem. Thanks, and email or post with any answers or help. Also, some of the vintage I picked-up from this gentleman are (all are for trade/sell - large scans of front and back are:<br /><br /><br />1933 Goudey BENNY BENGOUGH rc (# 1)<br /><br />1952 Bowman WILLIE MAYS (# 218) <br /><br />1953 Bowman Color MICKIE MANTLE (# 59) - I have two, but one is really rough.<br /><br />1954 Topps HANK AARON rc (# 128) <br /><br />1954 Topps AL KALINE rc (# 301) <br /><br />1955 Topps SANDY KOUFAX rc (# 123) <br /><br />1956 Topps MICKEY MANTLE (# 135) <br /><br />1957 Topps MICKEY MANTLE (# 95) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for your time.<br />Dustin Thompson<br />jdtcards<br />dustinthompson@comcast.net

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>This post you made is really a cross between finding out info and selling cards. Please be very careful about posting cards for sale on this main forum. That sort of stuff really goes in the Buy/Sell/Trade links. As for the National Caramel cards they are similar to E121 American Caramels but on a little bit thinner stock (I believe, as I don't have any with me at work). A nice vg Cobby is probably in the $1300-$1900 range. This is one of the sets that really is undervalued imo. Good luck....(and yes, if it's a National Caramel Cobb and you can get it for a good price you should)

Posted By: <b>Dustin Thompson</b><p>Thanks, and I made a few changes to my post. As for the thickness, what would you say? I think I am going to pick-up the Cobb...even though he is a MGR. on this card, I think it would be a nice addition to my PC. Thank you again.<br><br>Thank you for your time.<br />Dustin Thompson<br />jdtcards<br />dustinthompson@comcast.net

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The E220s are far scarcer than the American Caramel cards of that era. Pick it up, it would easily be the best card of the bunch you listed.<br /><br />PS. Cobb was a Player/Manager in that era (common), and still hitting well over .300 every year (1921-1927...389 .401 .340 .338 .378 .339 .357)
