1900s Candy and Caramel Cards

[Leon]

I wonder if the caramel and candy cards make a comeback in the future? Their prices, to me, seem to still be a bit low relative to other assets cards. I remember back in the day I always liked the Doolan pose in purple. So upon restarting my current collection I had to have one. And it seems the purple e94s aren't quite as hot as they used to be.
Any other caramel/candy card stories or cards members want to show would be great.

I'm more of a T card fan myself but nice idea.

From Jefferson Burdick's collection:



My main E card interest is Zeenuts

Personally, I hope the prices continue to remain low for the next few years so that I can still afford them. I still have quite a ways to go on some sets. I also hope a few board members eventually are willing to give up some of the more difficult stuff I'm looking for.

I know I've posted this before and some of you may be sick of it by now, but I would really love to finish this set someday (at least the known players anyway).

Those are totally awesome! You could post those babies everyday, and I wouldn't get tired of seeing them.

In collecting Wagner, I have come to really appreciate the caramels. I like the diversity of backs (like T cards) and the color variations - I want to do an E94 color run some day.

DJ, those red crofts are just totally awesome. To see one is something. To see all those together is simply amazing.

Speaking of E cards and Wagner, here is a picture Pat put together for me (I love looking at them in this form and please excuse the one T card).

Really cool display of Wagner cards...thanks for sharing! As I run across more and more of the unique sets and designs offered by the caramels, the more I want to grab as many different examples of backs and representatives of sets as I can. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to snag a megastar like Wagner everytime. I just think it would be cool to have a variety.

Have always loved the caramels. Feel these are two issues that have really dipped in value compared to what I think they should be.

Ryan, what no throwing collage?

Robert, In my opinion everything is cyclical. At this point, everyone seems to only want rare back T206 and is neglecting the fact that the more difficult caramel sets (E105, E104-3, E92 Nadja/Cocoa, etc) have such low pop numbers and simply don't come up for sale. Some of these sets might be somewhat easy to find a type card, but putting a set together is nearly impossible. Meanwhile, the easier sets (E93/E95/E96) might seem too easy to some with the internet and Ebay. I don't think the later E cards were ever quite as popular due to being B&W. Eventually I think the collecting community will realize how difficult some of the E cards can be. As evidence by the group trying to complete the E105 set, it is only going to take 3-5 collectors looking to build sets that will cause the rarer sets to have prices skyrocket again, but until than I'm happy to keep picking up some regardless of condition.

And my latest pickup from tonight to fill in my dirtbag collection

I shared mine earlier but want to come back with a question. Leon (and anyone else who wants to interject), to what do you attribute the leveling off of the candy and caramel cards? I have only recently "discovered " them, and I am still finding out how vast the candy/caramel card universe is.

I love these cards! In addition to the Cobbs, Lajoie, and the Mathewson I posted earlier in this thread, I have also picked up other cards from the E90-1 set. They aren't exactly high grade, but I couldn't be happier with them. It has been great finding affordable, raw cards on our own B/S/T. It is fun to wonder who all has owned them over the last 110 or so years.

I think these are ripe for appreciation. Demand is cyclical which seems to have been lacking some for quite some time. Great cards shown by all. Thanks for sharing.

I agree Dean.

Great E Cards everyone, keep’em coming. I always liked this one and feel it too is underrated and ripe for appreciation

Cy wants another appearance. What can I say?

[ZachS]

Did somebody say "Cy"??? Leon you should really take a bite out of the corner of yours. They taste delicious... just like candy.

There he is.... I was wondering why CY hadn’t made an appearance yet.

Here is another e card to bump this thread bc we need to see something other than PWCC threads.

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Dean, that is a sweet E93 Cobb! I don't own any E93s, but they are on my want list.
