E125 American Caramel Diecuts

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...

I've always assumed the "short tab" versions are simply trimmed. Is that not the case?

[Aaron Seefeldt]

They're not trimmed. As Scott said earlier, which makes sense, they realized the ones with smaller tabs couldn't stand upright as was intended so they were redone with larger tabs. It's possible they were a proof of sorts...

Here's the tougher of the 2 Wagners

I'm glad to hear they are not trimmed. I own a Speaker fielding pose with no flap around his foot, as shown in Aaron's post.
