(E121) Stars of Base Ball Pack-This Package Contains Twenty Pictures..In Appreciation

[rhettyeakley]

When I said that there are several different sets that are all considered part of the "Blank Back" W575-1 set I am specifically speaking of all the following being grouped together in what amounts to a mass of confusion...
1.) W575-1 (blank backed E121 Series of 80 cards)
2.) W575-1 (blank backed E121 Series of 120 cards)--hard to tell the diff in a scan but the card stock is very different between the 80 & 120 series--obvious in hand, 120 series is much thinner
3.) D383 Koester's Bread
4.) W501 Type 2 (same checklist as regular W501, grainy photos, thin stock, hand cut top and bottom borders--true "strip cards")
6.) Henry Johnson Confectioners (essentially a stamped back version of #1 above)
7.) Henry Keating Candy Co. (again, essentially a stamped version of #1--like Henry Johnson)
8.) Service Candy Co/Henry Johnson Type 2 w/ blue/green back stamps (see #6 & 7)
9.) This "new" series of cards distributed in 4 sets of 20 (once removed from the little envelopes it will be tough to distinguish from #1 above and may just be easier to group those together minus the "dropped" or "exclusive" cards.)

Thanks Rhett. I (and 2 others) appreciate it . I agree, with a mix mash of those sets below these cards can definitely be found. Guessing 1920?

Leon, your group in from early 1921.

Rhett, thanks for identifying all the different issues that are considered to be related blank-back W575-1s AND for all the fantastic research you have done and continue to do pertaining to the E121 and all of its related issues.

I have many examples in my Elmer Miller collection. Always looking for more. :-)

[rhettyeakley]

Elmer should be pretty easy actually as he has the following...

E121 Series of 80 (2 different backs)
E121 Series of 120
D383 Koester's Bread (position C.F.)
E-Unc Lou Gertenrich
W501
W501 Type 2
W575-1 Blank Back (position O.F.) -Essentially a blank backed E121-Ser 120


Theoretical (unconfirmed)
D-Unc Gassler's Bread (should exist, just haven't seen it)
UT-Unc Leader Theatre (long shot to exist)
