Question on some E91-C American Caramels

[brianp-beme]

As far as the cards go, from the images provided they look authentic. The E91 sets were all machine cut...it seems possible your cards were hand cut from a sheet?

And of course it is blasphemy in my soul to try to make them more even. They were not strip cards, designed to be cut into individual cards. I think the way they are helps document their prior sheet existence.

As far as grading, I have no clue.

Just be glad they don't look like these E91C Boston cards I formerly owned:

Thanks Brian, appreciate it, and you're right cutting them would be insane. Not sure what I was thinking there. I have read this set takes a hit because the players are cartoon-like and they use the same/similar images for multiple players. That all said, I love the colors and think they look quite nice. This particular batch had basically no competition on eBay and other than the edges the cards are in nice shape. I can understand how hand cut edges can be distracting though.

Wasn't planning on doing the whole Sox set, but I already have the Speaker and Hooper so the only expensive one remaining for me is the Joe Wood. Can't stop now.

I have E91 A set myself because Luther Taylor's name on the back checklist.

my theory, I think these were from uncut sheet and a 7 years old boy wants a real baseball card instead of his father's uncut sheet that he picked up at the factory alley.

you might want to recut them to make it sharper before send to SGC

Great cards!

Here is the article on the E91 sets I posted on here several years back.

Pretty much all of the E91A set based the artwork of the depicted player's head on photos also used in other baseball card sets. About 1/2 of the E91B cards (the repeat players) also accurately depict the player's head. Unfortunately the E91C has all different players for this same artwork, so no cards in the E91C accurately depict the player.

Still a neat, colorful 110+ year group of cards...enjoy the hunt for the rest!

Nice cards above, even if they are handcut. Good luck on finishing the set...
