Question for you Nadja Caramel experts
Posted By: <b>Sean</b><p>here is my explanation<br /><br /><br /><br />E104 cards are broken down into 3 different sets. All E104 cards are very hard to find. The empty spaces in the checklists indicates that a card is not known (at least to me) of that player/back combination. Even though 2 of the sets consists of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh players it should be noted that Nadja was a company based in St. Louis, Missouri.<br /><br />Since ALL E104 cards are very hard to find it is difficult to easily say set 1, 2 or 3 is any harder to find. If you have any card not listed above please share it with your fellow collectors and send me a scan. I'd be glad to include it. Send to: petecld@earthlink.net <br /><br />E104.1 - This set of 18 cards consists of all Philadelphia Athletics players. They are all portraits and can be found with a "World's Champions 1910" tag line written over their heads along with an elephant logo on the chest. Each player may exist with a blank back or with a back that has a Nadja Caramel ad.<br /><br />These card would have been issued very late in the year 1910 or in 1911. <br /><br />Since no cards have been found with the "World's Champions 1910" line AND a Nadja back it is a possibility that these cards with the tag line were only distributed in the Philadelphia area. Why would a St. Louis company make a special effort to advertise for the Philadelphia team? This could also explain why when E104s are found, they are found with a blank back, signaling that their distribution was wider. This is pure speculation. <br /><br />Blank Backs<br />With tag line Blank Backs<br />Without tag line Nadja Back<br />With tag line Nadja Back<br />Without tag line <br />Baker, Athletics<br /> Baker, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Barry, Athletics<br /> Barry, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Bender, Athletics<br /> Bender, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Collins, Athletics<br /> Collins, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Davis, Athletics<br /> Davis, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dygert, Athletics<br /> Dygert, Athletics<br /> <br /> Dygert, Athletics<br /> <br />Hartsel, Athletics<br /> Hartsel, Athletics<br /> <br /> Hartsel, Athletics<br /> <br />Krause, Athletics<br /> Krause, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lapp, Athletics<br /> Lapp, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Livingstone, Athletics<br /> Livingstone, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lord, Athletics<br /> Lord, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mack, Athletics<br /> Mack, Athletics<br /> <br /> Mack, Athletics<br /> <br />Morgan, Athletics<br /> Morgan, Athletics<br /> <br /> Morgan, Athletics<br /> <br />Murphy, Athletics<br /> Murphy, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Oldring, Athletics<br /> Oldring, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Plank, Athletics<br /> Plank, Athletics<br /> <br /> Plank, Athletics<br /> <br />Strunk, Athletics<br /> Strunk, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Thomas, Athletics<br /> Thomas, Athletics<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />E104.2 - This set of 11 cards consists of all Pittsburgh Pirates players from the 1909 season.
