By ACC standards, isn't this MELLO-MINT set actually one of the first "R" sets ?

Why didn't Burdick classify these cards as an "R" set ? Me-thinks this is another case like the 1910 Coupon cards'
debate, where Burdick got it wrong. I understand that the E105's are "copycats" of the E101 and E102 sets; and
I'm sure the E105's were printed in Pennsylvania....where most of the E-type (and T216) cards were produced.

Furthermore, due to the E105's timeline and similarity to its E-cousins, Burdick probably "fudged" this set (excuse
the pun) into the confectionary category. But, there is really no debate here....these are GUM cards.

I'm wondering if any one else has ever raised this question ? ?
