Default E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

ED

Having completed a 120 card set when it was more affordable (1980's - early '90s), I used to think (like you) that
this set was printed in series of 20 cards. It made sense, since the backs of these cards stated...."100 Subjects".
And, then they added a final 20-card series in 1910 to increase the set to 120 cards. However, I have discarded
that thinking when the E93 sheet of 30-cards surfaced. Most of all the Caramel cards were printed at the same
facility in PA.

Guys......

My recollection of the "toughies" is that most of them are Subjects representing either Boston teams, Cinci & Clev:

Boston (AL or NL)......

Buster Brown.....horiz.
Graham
Hall.....horiz.
Seigle.....horiz.
Shea
Speaker
Stahl
Sweeney


Cinci.......

Karger
Lobert
McLean
Mike Mitchell


Cleveland......

Bemis
Joss (pitching).....horiz.
Upp
CYoung


Additional "toughies"......
