Rick, are you going to be listing some Holsum's? If so let me know as I have been actively collecting them for quite some time and would love to pick up more but at the very least I could help you out.

Scott, funny thing is that although some Holsum's were 1920 issues yours is from the "Type 2" set made and distributed in 1921 so they are not correct.

In short, the way to tell a 1920 from a 1921 upon quick glance is the "H. Weil Baking Company" line on back, if they look like the ones in Brian's post they are from the earlier issue (1920 seems to be the concensus based on the player selection), whereas if they have the "indented" line like on the Sisler shown above they are from the later "Type 2" issue which was made in 1921 (we know this based on player selection as there are players in the Type 2 set that were first with their respective teams in 1921).
