Thanks Marc for reposting this fun thread...boy was I obviously five years younger back then! I have observed many more subjects of the type 2 and 3 backs, including a couple cards that now have all three backs verified. Unfortunately I can not add anything to the list currently, because it is all buried beneath a stack of moveable objects. When the opportunity arises I will post updated lists.

Thanks, Brian. I figured that there must be something more current than this. I have also found a few subjects that have all three backs and quite a few others with the Type 2 back. It would certainly seem that there were at least two printings of these, if not three. I'm eager to see your list whenever you get the chance!

After sporadic observation over the past few years since the original posting, I have updated the verified back listings for the E220 National Caramel set (see post # 39). We are down to just one Type 1 back (Carl Mays) that has not been verified...I assume it is out there. The verified type 2 backs have grown from 13 subjects to 29, and the Type 2 reversed from 37 to the current 63 subjects verified.
Would love to hear of any more out there, and especially from the re-invigorator of this thread, Marc. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 12-01-2015 at 11:35 PM. |

Getting back to Rhett's original question on the date ... can I ask a dumb question?
Is it possible that the correct date was 1921, not 1922, because these two "rookies" were players that were known to be coming up with certain clubs? I am borrowing the concept from the 1980s garbage where they issued a lot of pre-rookie cards based on players that they knew were going to be in the big leagues in a couple years. Given that there are only two players that debuted in 1922, is it possible these were well-known pre-rookies that were about to make the show ... and the card company just got out in front? I don't know enough about either player to answer that question (maybe they were obscure in 1921), but just given the numbers of players that date to 1922 versus the larger list that dates to 1920/1921 it makes me wonder if there wasn't some early adoption of these two players because they were known future players. Cheers, Ptrick |

The players in question weren't rookies but were veterans that had changed teams. I looked up when Joe Dugan was dealt to the Red Sox and there was a three team trade that took place January 10, 1922 that landed Dugan in Boston. I haven't checked on any of the other dates.
I love seeing older threads like this get new life and a fresh set of eyes!

Rhett was gracious enough not to complain when I semi-derailed this thread years ago, and it is good to see he holds no grudges.
It is interesting that despite the three different back printings, as noted in detail in this thread, no changes occurred on the front, such as name (Bagbyk would have been an obvious one to change), position, team, etc. It seems more likely that the various printings came in one time frame, such as 1922 as conjectured by Rhett. Of course the printers could have been lazy or not cared...after all these were just stupid baseball cards and the job just a paycheck for some Joe Blow, so they could have been issued in multiple years. I still like Rhett's 1922 estimate as the earliest print date, especially due to the Dugan early 1922 trade to the Red Sox. Brian |

Thanks Marc for all the great updates to the back lists. I love the fact that with the Mays we now know the Type 1 backs are available for every card in the set. It also is looking more likely that the 2 Reversed backs might, with more input and observation, also span the entire set. I will update the lists in a day or two, and feel free to chime in.

I wonder if maybe all of the backs are available across the full run but perhaps the regular Type 2 backs were short printed as they certainly appear to be the least common of the three variations. My thought is that there may have been three full printings of the set, one with each of the backs, but the Type 2 and Type 2 reversed were possibly done later and in smaller quantities. The only thing that makes me question that is the inclusion of the few players with two different poses. It would seem odd that they would have two cards of some of the players, all of whom are pretty non-descript. However, both Kilduff poses are found with the Type 2, both Snyders with the Type 2, and both Stocks with the Type 2 reversed, so obviously those were printed in the same run.
