1921-22 . E220 National Caramel

[Leon]

There aren't enough card threads currently so here is an E220 one. Picked this up not long ago from a board member.

I've always been oddly drawn to miscuts, probably why I love E220's. I still can't believe that I own this card, I just love the image!

No miscut on this one

Here are some fun size variations and odd cuts that the E220 cards are known for.

[mrreality68]

some nice looking cards.
looks like I have to start looking for that e220 Ruth

[GasHouseGang]

I was always getting the E220's mixed up with the E121's. I found an old thread on Net54 where several people had even gotten cards graded by PSA that had mistaken one for the other. Here's the thread:

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=148662

The quickest and easiest way to tell by looking at the front of the card is that the E220's have the player name inside the frame of the picture and the E121's have the name outside of the frame.

[Wanaselja]

My first E220. Just got it this month from a fellow member.

My one and only E220

[yanksfan09]

Great set! Here's my best 2:

This is actually the 3rd different Ruth I've owned from the set, I've had an Auth and a Grade 1 that weren't nearly as nice as this one! It's an awfully tough card to find in any type of halfway decent shape!!

I noticed that as well when I was looking at all the vcp images of this card that have sold in the past. Most are not very nice and almost all are badly off centered or have other issues. That being said the image is vintage Ruth at his finest and not seen on a lot of other cards like the throwing pose, making it that much more special and helps make up for the condition issues.

Great duo. Someday I'll add a Hornsby. One of my favorite Hornsby poses.

[oldjudge]

This is one of my favorite cards. I love the pose and it is special because it once belonged to my good friend John Esch.
