One of the things that strikes me about these cards is their very poor quality. It seems surprising that a company would go to the trouble of making them utilizing such awful artwork. I would even go so far as to say kids would have hated these and opted to collect something else.

I am not sure they are any more crude than some other series we know of today. It's amazing that some of them exist at all, as E-Unc or anything else. These All-Star Candy, E-Uncs, are so ugly they have a certain allure to them.

Leon- I was thinking of some other sets that incorporated crude artwork, and while the All-Star candy is not a great looking set, the cards were nicely produced with clear pictures and good colors. Their problem was the generic nature of the images. Look at the McCormick in comparison. It looks like it was drawn by someone without any real artistic skills. But that may be what makes them interesting.
