Graded VG 3 by SGC. Outstanding E106 example of Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Honus Wagner (batting). The exceptionally rare 1915 E106 American Caramel issue shares designs with several other closely related candy issues (Croft's Candy, Nadja Caramels, Dockman & Sons, etc.) from the same era. These cards have glossy surfaces, which are very susceptible to cracking. The offered example features vibrant colors, a crisp image, near-perfect centering, and even rounding to the corners, The back is mostly clean, with bold text. Caramel cards in general are much rarer than tobacco cards of the era. Because they were issued with caramels, one card per package, and sold to children (as opposed to being sold to adults with tobacco), they also tend to survive in a much lower grade. In addition to being issued a few years later than most caramel cards, E106 American Caramel Company cards are considerably rarer than most traditional "E" cards. This is an fantastic example of the legendary Honus Wagner from this extremely rare, early twentieth-century candy issue. Opening Bid $10.
