Each card has been graded by PSA. Offered is a 118-card near set (missing Jackson and Wagner/Throwing for completion) of E90-1 American Caramel baseball cards distributed over a three-year period from 1909-1911. With its 1.41 GPA (Set Rating: 1.33), this assembly merits "#5 Current Finest" accolades on the PSA Set Registry! Abundant during that distant golden age of insert trading cards, the supply of early candy and gum cards today is a mere trickle compared to the steady flow of transactions involving their tobacco card counterparts. Although a precise census of their respective circulation is impossible, knowledgeable 21st Century hobbyists all experience early-on of the profound availability imbalance which only serves to enhance a deeper and greater appreciation of the genre. This offering is a rare opportunity to acquire a near complete set of the cornerstone of the early candy/caramel class of cards.
