E125 American Caramel Diecuts

[Vintagecatcher]

Excited to just complete my run on catchers in the E125 American Caramel Diecut set.

With my recent purchase of Bill Carrigan, I now have all four catchers in the set. One catcher for each of the 4 teams in the set: Bill Carrigan (Boston Americans), George Gibson (Pittsburgh Pirates), Ira Thomas ( Philadelphia Americans), and Art Wilson (New York Nationals).

I also discovered that there must have been several printings in the set. The Bill Carrigan can be found with two different tab configurations. One with both tabs between his legs and the other with larger tabs with one between his legs and one to the right. I also noticed that some players also have a small black square printed on the diecut, whereas others do not including the same players.

Patrick,

That's great information about such a scarce set. I would guess that the changed the tabs because the one configuration didn't stand up so well.

I only have one E125 for my type collection but really enjoy seeing examples from this set.

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on completing your catcher run!

Nice work! They're hard to come by, so congrats on your collection!

I collect early Red Sox so I have a few Sox players from the set, so I'll share a scan as well....

I've noticed the same with the Speaker fielding pose. The ones with the full tabs at bottom seem more common as I've only come across 1 with the "shorter tabs". I figured they may have been printed in a different year or from a different printer...
