Andy,
It's possible some company may have used them without a printed ad, but why would they? the whole point is to promote their product. I again will say they were merely blank back errors from sheets that did not get printed for one reason or another and then cut and distributed with whatever product they were meant to be with. They were NOT "salesmen samples". As has been shown with Siegle and Miller and others, although the fronts are near identical, there are subtle changes from issue to issue as these images were used over a 2-3 year period. Further study of each player may reveal enough clues to identify it with it's correct set. I would not say however that the blank back is "part" of the set, much like a T206 blank back is not part of a T206 back run, IT IS the absence of a printed back and therefore an "error" card. |

$$$
The more half tone lithographs they sold (either to candy store, cocoa dealers, clothes stores) the more money they made...they would have sold them to elementary schools if possible....
Of course they had samples to show their prospective clients.... Baseball card makers of the early 1900's were pretty smart... they made artwork we still treasure today! |

Krause
The Krause shown in the OP is very interesting.....
This may have been one of the salesman samples used in convincing the Clement Brothers into changing from the funny oval images in 1909 to the Rectangular 1910 image we are more familiar with today... Surely one of the board members lives in NYC and can take a peek at the Burdick Collection....the D380 Krause is in fact, there. |

Sorry for the triple post but......
This Krause is the brother to the McLean Blank bank on sale on eBay (not mine)
These were both sample cards of a salesman from upstate new York most probably... He was a good salesman, he got small time businesses to buy his artwork... He got Clement bakers in the small town of Rochester NY to buy krause amoung others He got tiny NIAGRA BAKING to buy his artwork after seeing the McLean... Oh yeah, and McLean is one of the few verified D355 Niagara Baking cards... |

Not sure what it means if anything, but here is a McGraw image that is not in e90-1. This one is labeled by SGC as T216....
Maybe American Caramel didn't want to buy it because it was pink.... |

That is an e92 most probably....why would they label that (the way more valuable) t216.....did you submit that?
