The E95 Philadelphia Caramel issue remains one of the most widely-collected of all the caramel issues likely due to the familiarity of the poses the colorful images and their similarity in design to the T206 cards that attract so many prewar collectors. Offered here are two collector-grade examples of Hall of Famers from the set in Frank Chance and Johnny Evers. Two-thirds of the famous Chicago double play combination these two cards suffer from a variety of condition flaws notably the clipped corner of the Evers and the slight tears in the Chance. However collectors who ascribe to the philosophy "I"d rather have a hole in the card than a hole in the collection" can find excellent fillers here along with the knowledge that both cards are fresh to the hobby originally part of the "Full Count Find."
