Here is another (very rare) playing card back. I will show the front in the May pick ups thread one I get the card in hand.

Awesome thread and great to see all the advertising backs. Lou Gertenrich is absolutely one of my favorites. Been looking for the Ruth holding bird for years.

Wow Ryan...not only will it be a one of a kind card, but I am thinking it might just be a big name star too. Congrats, a great pickup even if it is just a common player.

This E102 caramel card does not technically have an ad back (if it did identify the manufacturer on the back, then for crying out loud we would know who put out this set!), but it does have a neat cascading of player's names on its checklist. I always wondered about the decision to unequally place 11 names on top, 9 in middle and 5 on the bottom. I would guess it was due to length of player's names/teams...?
