Before someone gets the wrong idea let's not call this an "E78 Young". It shouldn't even say "E101" as there is no way to prove it. E78 is a boxing set that has no sponsor on the back and I have always treated it as an "Anonymous" set but others have called it an American Caramel set for the reason Leon mentioned.

What makes this card so important is that the art used for for this card can be found in a number of sets sponsored by American Caramel and their competitors. It is now possible to say the American Caramel sets AND other sets were printed at the same location at the same time.

There is no way to assign a set name to this card but Rob is correct, the way the back is designed matches the E102 set but there are other sets of various themes that use this checklist style so I hesitate to say it's "relates" to any one particular set but could mean the sets with this style checklist was the same person and was simply his personal "style" or could have been a intentional selling format presented to candy companies.

EXCELLENT pick up Leon!!!
