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 era. Offered is an incredibly rare example of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Ty Cobb (with bat, facing-front variation). These cards have glossy surfaces that are susceptible to cracking and severe condition problems. The offered card has beautiful colors and a crisp image of Cobb. Graded POOR 1 by SGC, flaws include heavy creasing and corner wear. 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 with tobacco to adults), they also tend to survive in a much lower grade. In addition to being issued a few years later than most caramel cards and being particularly prone to condition issues due to their glossy surfaces, E106 American Caramel cards are also considerably rarer than most traditional "E" cards. This is a presentable low-grade example of the legendary Ty Cobb from this extremely rare, early twentieth-century candy issue. Opening Bid $10.
