Default one more tidbit

One more tidibit. I might even call E94 as Burdick did and classify them as Star Baseball Players. That way we get out of having to make a decision on what Company to call them. Most folks in the hobby call them Close Candy cards....that or Blomes is correct, imo. Very debatable discussion and one I enjoy .

Tom- I have never been able make any connection between Blomes and Close candy, except some of the caligraphy looks a bit similar, however many writings back in early 1900's had the same ornateness. I have advertising on both sides too, many more on the Close Candy side but examples of both nonetheless.
