The American Caramel E90-1 issue is sometimes referred to as the T206
of
caramel issues, and has been dubbed "The Kraken" in some quarters due
to the challenges of collecting the 120 subjects found within. The set
was issued with a
stick of caramel that, as one might imagine, led to condition issues
which plague the set. This colorful example exhibits some light staining on both front and back, common to the set.
Corners
exhibit rounding and wear consistent with its grade. Foxing is present, particularly on the back, along with a couple light smudges. Front image is centered to the right. The spot of color loss above Hughie's head on the front is a printing error found in nearly all green-background copies of this card, not an issue with this particular example.
Many know Jennings for his colorful antics, hoots, whistles, and his famous shouts of "Ee-Yah!" from the third base coaching box. Few realize that Jennings is a Hall of Fame player who led the Majors in WAR for four consecutive years, led the Majors in HBP for five consecutive years, and holds the all-time Major League record in the category. PSA has only graded 29 Jennings E90-1s higher
than the VG+ 3.5 given to this example.
