Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Hall of Famer. This is the only example at its tier (with one graded higher) among a total of nineteen copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. Presented is one of the key cards from this elusive set. Oxford Confectionery issued this unusual and very rare set in 1921, at the same time its larger competitors were also issuing baseball cards with caramel treats. Collectors have always appreciated the rarity and primitive charm of this distinctive early candy issue. Oxfords appear to have been only regionally issued, as they are seldom found outside of the Pennsylvania area. The offered card is extremely attractive and displays as a superb representative of its type. Light wear is evident at the corners and edges and its surface is very clean. Johnson's image is perfectly focused. Praiseworthy Excellent to Mint condition.
