Tom is correct, the E241 set is a "mixed subject" set including the 60 baseball players from W515 and 60 other subjects including Presidents, Actors, and Wild West subjects (hence the 120 subjects on back of the cards). In my opinion as tough as the baseball players are the non-sports subjects are harder to find...

Here is a Ulysses S. Grant and Whitey Witt from the E241 set...

Great stuff guys, thanks for sharing!!

Leon, your card looks more like a 1928 Fro-joy card than a 1928 George Ruth Candy card to me.

Thanks Val.
That isn't the first time I have made that mistake. I know better, or at least i should, since I have probably handled at least 50 - 100 of each.
