Although not quite as prevalent as their tobacco counterparts, the caramel cards were still very popular at the time and could also be bought directly by kids, giving children a direct link to card collecting as opposed to the tobacco cards, which could technically only be obtained by adults. Caramel cards are still very popular with collectors today, and are denoted with an "E" designation. Some of the most widely collected sets include: 1909 E90-1 American Caramel set: This set is by far the most popular of the many caramel sets produced between 1909-1911. The American Caramel set was made up of cards that were similar in size and paper composition to the early tobacco cards (much smaller than your typical modern cards, and almost paper thin card stock). Unlike the Tobacco cards, this set contains the only rookie card of Shoeless Joe Jackson, which is one of the most revered cards in the hobby today. The set also contains cards from Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, and many other Hall of Famers. 1909 E95 Philadelphia Caramel: Similar to the 1909 American Caramel set, but with a much smaller checklist. 1914 & 1915 Cracker Jack cards: With regards to early 20th century cards, I would say that the 1914 & 1915 Cracker Jack sets are second only to the T206 Tobacco cards in popularity among modern collectors. The cards present a very attractive bold red background, and include many Hall of Famers, all of which demand a premium in pricing, even for cards in low-grade condition. Sadly, this set was just a little too early for Babe Ruth, who is not among the fairly extensive checklist in either set. 1922 E120 American Caramel set: A very popular set produced in the 1920's, a decade with very few stand-out card sets, the 1922 E120 American Caramel set is probably best known for the easily recognizable & intricate design pattern on the front of the cards. The set boasts cards from numerous Hall of Famers, and is anchored by the iconic Babe Ruth card. 1932 U.S. Caramel: The 1932 U.S. Caramel set is one of the most highly revered multi-sports sets of the 20th Century, largely due to the scarcity of the cards and the attractive, bold red design of the backgrounds. Some of the keys to the set include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Bobby Jones (one of greatest golfers of all time), and Jack Dempsey (all-time great boxing champion). There is also a 30-card 1932 U.S. Caramel Presidents set, which is one of the most highly sought after presidential card sets of all time. Thanks for checking out my auction, and good luck!
