E90-1 American Caramel exclusive artwork
As most of us collectors know, there are many vintage sets that share at least a portion of their artwork with other contemperaneous issues. An example would be the T206 set whose artwork can be seen in the various T213 Coupon issues, T214 Victory, T215 Pirate, T215 Red Cross, etc. A similiar situation occurs between the various associated small caramel 'E' sets. There is a pool of images that run through 14 different issues, including some bread and tobacco sets, which are listed below:
E90-1 American Caramel E92 Crofts Candy E92 Crofts Cocoa E92 Dockman E92 Nadja E101 E102 E105 Mello Mint E106 D303 General Baking D303 Mother Bread T216 Kotton T216 Mino T216 Virginia Tango Eggs What I feel compelled to do is provide a list of the 73 E90-1 cards with artwork that can exclusively be found in the E90-1 set. Why, you are compelled to ask? Because I am a front collector, and information like this matters to me...in my opinion it makes these cards more special because their likenesses can't be found elsewhere. There are plenty in this group that are among my favorite E90-1 cards, such as the George Davis, Hugh Duffy, both Joss cards, the Keeler trio, McGinnis, Stahl, Willis and the Cy Young portrait. There are also artistic stink-bombs such as the Joe Jackson card. So I thought I might share a list of these cards so that other like-minded collectors can add this to their reference arsenal. I have updated the list to include information provided by fellow Net54 members. The Krause card, according to Paul K, exists in the D380 set as seen in the Burdick collection...would love to see an image of it. Until then it is duly noted below. Artwork exclusive to the E90-1 American Caramel set: Baker Bell Bender - pitching Blankenship Bliss Bradley Bransfield - 'P' on uniform Bransfield - no 'P' on uniform Brown - Boston Brown - Chicago Cubs Butler Camnitz Chance - front view Clarke - both Phila + Pitts variations Clement Corridon Crawford - orange background Criger Davis - batting G.

Interesting list -- that had to take some time, effort, and knowledge of the set. I'm also a fan of the George Davis card (I really like the orange sunset background with the batting pose, and it's one of a handful of E90-1 cards in my collection).
I was on the fence on your inclusion of the Addie Joss portrait. The portrait itself is used in other sets, but if you are defining this strictly as "exclusive artwork", well... I guess you are right on that one -- the artwork is different. |

And I did not even consider the D380 Clement set when I was researching...I think I have seen the D380 Joss with the exact 'E90-1' artwork, just in black and white. Definitely something to consider giving an asterick to in my listing. Brian |

D380 artwork
The Joss portrait, Krause, Mullin and Summers artwork all appears in the D380 set.

Lajoie in E90-1 may not be totally unique among ALL sets, but that pose is different than most of the other caramels he appears in...

Thanks Paul...those D380's are certainly an interesting and elusive set. I will update the list to include this info.

H Howell
Pet peeve: Why is the Howell E 92 called "ready to pitch" and the e90-1 called "wind-up" when they are the same front? These 2 happen to be the only "wind-up" pose of Howell...definitely the rare pose of this player....

It would be neat, but it does include the Jackson and for the price if I ever had the money I still couldn't bring myself to pay that much for one of the worst looking cards from the set.

E90-1 specialness
One of the reasons I like the E90-1 set is the fact that, unlike many of the other small sized candy issues of the era, there is unique artwork seen in the set. Artistically speaking many of my favorite E90-1 cards happen to be on this list as well.

It may take some heat for being "ugly" put the joe Jackson is the only purple card in the set and a very distinctive card!

HAHA maybe that is a reason I don't like it. I was just telling a friend this morning that purple is my least favorite color.
