Default E224 Texas Tommy Type 1

It seems that a lot of the great research, and history, threads don't get much traction. A few do, but most don't.
I thought those very early auctions were awesome. So did 3 other people. Now if I said I was thinking about a Net54 NFT or something crazy, I would gets lots of feedback. It is what it is. I suggest anyone that laments, the way I do sometimes, start a good E or T card thread (other than more freaking T206s LOL).....
The back of this one is so "not" politically correct. It seems like an awkward statement today re: "Though a full blooded Indian, he is mild mannered and quiet". .... I know we have talked about it before but still...

I will bite on this one as I do love the TT's.

My understanding is that a Texas Tommy was a candy or candy bar. Has there ever been a discovery of a wrapper as I would love to see one.

Love Texas Tommys, such a mysterious set. I'll work on making a post about them. In the meantime here's a tin from the Cardinet Candy Company of Oakland CA. maker of the Texas Tommy candy bar.

I've never collected them or researched the history; however, I have seen the cards.

I always thought Texas Tommys were hot dog cards.

(go ahead, laugh...I kinda deserve it on this one)
