E90-1 American Caramel exclusive artwork

[brianp-beme]

As most of us collectors know, there are many vintage sets that share at least a portion of their artwork with other contemperaneous issues. An example would be the T206 set whose artwork can be seen in the various T213 Coupon issues, T214 Victory, T215 Pirate, T215 Red Cross, etc. A similiar situation occurs between the various associated small caramel 'E' sets. There is a pool of images that run through 14 different issues, including some bread and tobacco sets, which are listed below:

E90-1 American Caramel
E92 Crofts Candy
E92 Crofts Cocoa
E92 Dockman
E92 Nadja

E102
E105 Mello Mint
E106
D303 General Baking
D303 Mother Bread
T216 Kotton
T216 Mino
T216 Virginia
Tango Eggs

What I feel compelled to do is provide a list of the 73 E90-1 cards with artwork that can exclusively be found in the E90-1 set. Why, you are compelled to ask? Because I am a front collector, and information like this matters to me...in my opinion it makes these cards more special because their likenesses can't be found elsewhere. There are plenty in this group that are among my favorite E90-1 cards, such as the George Davis, Hugh Duffy, both Joss cards, the Keeler trio, McGinnis, Stahl, Willis and the Cy Young portrait. There are also artistic stink-bombs such as the Joe Jackson card. So I thought I might share a list of these cards so that other like-minded collectors can add this to their reference arsenal. I have updated the list to include information provided by fellow Net54 members. The Krause card, according to Paul K, exists in the D380 set as seen in the Burdick collection...would love to see an image of it. Until then it is duly noted below.
