Default How rare are the 1921 E253 Oxford Confectionery
These are not something I buy everyday, so I was just wondering what collectors thoughts are on this set, I have a chance to buy a few

Thanks Jimmy

Default scarce....
We could get into the whole "rare" definition but I guess I would put the E253s on the "scarce" plateau. "Rare" is a subjective word, and as we all know, has been used so often it's real meaning is somewhat diminished.

The set is fun to pursue and not incredibly rare, but harder to come by than a number of the 1920s sets. If you buy them and want to flp them, let me know. You might have a buyer given condition and price. These are simply for display.

Tough but not rare. Not as plentiful as many 20's Caramel issues but nowhere near the rarity of some of the tougher issues like Wm. Paterson's, Honey Boy's, or Curtis Ireland's. That being said it is a pretty small set so it is very doable w/ some patience.

SGC's pop report has an average of about 11 examples per card in the set; PSA about 9 per card. Not all that rare.

Not a rare card. But, certainly a rare smile from the Peach. Great card!

And not sure that makes them all that scarce either.

I know, your mum said "It's a treasure". The doctor said: "Let's bury it".

Default beauty?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think they are kind of ugly too .

Better than strip cards of the same era! Now those are ugly.

No surprise; I do as well. Though some of the poses are a bit odd (e.g. Old Pete).
