E125 American Caramel Diecuts

Nice work! They're hard to come by, so congrats on your collection!

I collect early Red Sox so I have a few Sox players from the set, so I'll share a scan as well....

I've noticed the same with the Speaker fielding pose. The ones with the full tabs at bottom seem more common as I've only come across 1 with the "shorter tabs". I figured they may have been printed in a different year or from a different printer...

I've always assumed the "short tab" versions are simply trimmed. Is that not the case?

[Aaron Seefeldt]

They're not trimmed. As Scott said earlier, which makes sense, they realized the ones with smaller tabs couldn't stand upright as was intended so they were redone with larger tabs. It's possible they were a proof of sorts...

Here's the tougher of the 2 Wagners

I'm glad to hear they are not trimmed. I own a Speaker fielding pose with no flap around his foot, as shown in Aaron's post.

This is my E125 type card. Patrick, I notice that my card and a couple of the E125's shown above have "PATENT APPLIED FOR" printed vertically on one of the tabs. Inasmuch as neither of your Carrigans has this, does this suggest at least 3 printings?

Thanks for the responses gentlemen!

Like to also thank Bill Cornell for trading his E125, George Gibson, to me which started me on this quest.

Glad I was able to pick up the Bill Carrigan E125 that has both tabs between his legs. I like that design better than the other style.

Aaron I figured you would have seen the two different tabs since you have owned so many of the E125 diecuts. Has the Murray E125 been verified yet?

I'm also curious as to how many of these E125s actually exist. I know the 4 players I have in my collection have between 3-5 graded examples.
