[caramelcard]

We need to one day find out how these anonymous sets worked.

If anything, I think the Blomes overprint is really important in that it confirms that the "E94" cards are not only a George Close issue.

Were they just generic cards produced by X and then given to different companies (blomes, close)? I'm not sure if E94s were ever placed in candy boxes. I don't see a lot of candy stains on this issue like we do with philadelphia caramels. They could've just been handed out at stores when someone bought the candy.

Could retailers buy 100 of them and then stamp (E98 old put) their logo on them?

Some E98s have candy stains and some don't. But, that could just mean that some were exposed to hotter weather or whatever.

Anyways, there's a real possibility that E101, E98, E94, etc. type issues were just a pool of cards that were sold to different companies or retailers and the advertisements were not printed at the factory so that they could be used for several different products.

I know some folks say that E94 overprints were applied at the factory, but I don't see anything that suggests that.
