Obscure E (Early Candy & Gum) cards.....Circa 1932 and earlier
 

One of the categories our founding father, Jefferson Burdick, knew would be expanded upon was E (Early Candy & Gum) cards, issued approximately 1932 and earlier. The 1929 Leader Novelty cards seem to be one series he could have denoted as an E card. There are many others not categorized too. Anyone have any Leader Novelty or other uncategorized E type cards to share? It's always fun to see some scarce, early candy cards....

Just when I put the cards back in the bank! :D

I wonder how you make a sucker "sanitary"? I wonder who can add to the official list of issues? I've never seen that back before.

1929 Leader Novelty....
 

Here's the Lefty Grove Leader Novelty card. I bought this sight unseen out of the Sports Collector's Digest from a seller in New York (Bob?) who didn't know what it was at the time. He called it a small 1929 R316 or Kashin Publication, but knew it wasn't that. I would love to get some other color variations of the Grove card, but have not had any luck to date.

1910 E-UNC Wagner
 

Only 4 players from this mysterious "Blue Caption" set. This is the single action pose of the 4 players, as the others are portraits, and one of only two Wagner's...

Here is a great Lajoie pose from the Orange Border set:

Brian

Cobb Proof
 

Only a couple of these that I am aware of........

Candy cards.
 

These obscure candy cards are hindering the completion of my George Gibson player collection. :mad:

Gotta say, I really do like the cards though.

Still have never seen the J=K Gibson. Anyone have one to share?

1930 Fleer Whiz Bang
 

I have some from the original Fleer Whiz Bang find....always wanted to finish the full set including actors. There are a couple of 1 of 1's, so likely won't make it. There aren't too many of these baseball players either. I don't have access to my photo's currently but this is what they look like.

J=K
 

Sorry no Gibson J=K but I do have these. Has anyone seen a similar Wagner Type 2?

W or E?
W515 card but with Fleer advertisement that claims:

These 1929 Novelty's are not Real Easy ta Come by!
Pick this one from a Very Kind Board Member(Dankz Jeff!) as apart of a trade ta add ta my Type Collection...
As are wit Most of these WitiN the PSA PoP Report,
There are Only 2 WitiN the Report...
THiS One & an Authentic One!

The fleer above is cataloged in ACC as E241

Brad, here's my Leader Novelty of lefty Grove. It appears to me to be the same color as yours. FYI, I just gave it to Al C. of LOTG for his next auction.
Val

Tom is correct, the E241 set is a "mixed subject" set including the 60 baseball players from W515 and 60 other subjects including Presidents, Actors, and Wild West subjects (hence the 120 subjects on back of the cards). In my opinion as tough as the baseball players are the non-sports subjects are harder to find...

Here is a Ulysses S. Grant and Whitey Witt from the E241 set...

1928 Fro Joy Babe Ruth
 

Great stuff guys, thanks for sharing!!

Leon, your card looks more like a 1928 Fro-joy card than a 1928 George Ruth Candy card to me. ;)

Thanks Val.
That isn't the first time I have made that mistake. :) I know better, or at least i should, since I have probably handled at least 50 - 100 of each. :o
