In case you missed it, here's an interesting related thread from December:

There is a subsequent Thread on this Forum that pretty well proves that the 1st Series of both the American Caramel sets....
E91 and E90-1....were issued in 1908. And, the last Series of these two sets were issued in 1910.

Cobb is a 1st series card and not that tough....but, very expensive.














Tough one......








Three of the 20 toughest ones issued in the last Series in 1910......

I hope you guys don't mind me sharing some pics of mine.
It serves no purpose for em' to stay locked away and never
shared. They should be enjoyed.

The E90-1 set is my favorite of all time. At one point I had Karger and Hall, now just a "well-loved" Hall:

WOW ! ...... 7 years since I initiated this E90 thread....I guess time really travels fast when you're having fun

I have few regrets in this hobby; but, selling my complete E90-1 set back in the late 1990's at the Ft Washington show is one. The Joe Jax in this set was either
Ex (or VgEx)......I say Ex, but most likely a TPG would grade it a "4".

Anyhow, here are some of my favorites from my current 2nd set (of which I have no expectations of completing).

Thanks, Dave, and nice as always, Ted!

[tedzan]

Thanks Chuck

Are you putting together this set......and, if so, how far into it are you ?

I ask, since there doesn't appear to be the intense interest in the E90-1
set currently as there existed 7 years ago when this thread was posted.


Best regards,

Wanted to do an annual bump on a great, informative thread that began in 2006 in discussing the E90-1 set. I started the set a few months ago, and I am at about half way to completing the "Caramel Monster". Here are some of my recent purchases (perhaps shown elsewhere). I was hoping that some of the "caramel old timers" could chirp in on any recent revelations on the toughness of certain players such as Mitchell, Graham, Walsh, Wagner Throwing, Speaker, Duffy, etc. Thanks!

I am not collecting the e90-1 set, but did need the Lobert for my back run. I was lucky enough to be able to trade for it with another member.

Nice pick up Andy! I picked up my Lobert (not nearly as nice) about the same time as you did.

The Gibson back view is pretty tough these days.

The T216 cards (MINO, KOTTON, VIRGINIA EXTRA) were obviously not printed by American Lithographic, as most other Tobacco cards of that era.
Most of the T216 front images are identical to the E90 (or other Candy cards) images.

Circa 1914-1916, the Peoples Tobacco Co. Ltd. contracted the same printing firm that produced the E90-1 cards to produce the T216 cards.


................. E90-1 ........................................... T216





My question is.....does anyone on this forum know who the Printing firm was that produced the E90-1 and the T216 cards ?
