Auction Help for a Caramel Novice.....

Posted By: James Feagin

Not only am I a caramel novice, I am also a linking novice. I thought this was a pretty card and seemed like a decent deal. Does this card look legit and is it a good price?

You did fine. Not everyone likes those, because of their mostly generic designs, but I do and I know a few board members that do too. My guess is it would go a little higher in an auction that was run for 7 days. regards

I bought a Baker from the same set not too long ago and asked the same ?? from this board. I think you did all right and did not overpay. After I bought mine though I realized this is just a "generic" set as Leon said. Images on the cards are not specific to the player pictured. Count yourself fortunate as a lesson learned that really didn't cost much. If you really like the card though than what a great buy!

Like Leon said, it's legit. It's an American Caramel E91b . . . perhaps a tad overgraded by the seller, based upon that large stain.

I do not have anymore and did find a hoard from the family of the original collector.........I like em and always will !!!

the backs are very vintage and the front regardless of a few players with duplicate poses, still look more vintage then most caramel cards ,this is my opinion.

your price was fair and the grade was boderline.

Good job

It depends on which series of the cards you have. offhand, Plank and Ruelbach are 2 I can think of where the cards are derived from well-known images of them.

The E91s are still one of the few caramel sets to feature Big Train. Also, add a couple Mattys, a Wagner, a Speaker, and a Plank......it's actually not too bad.

I like the colors myself
