The E90-1 set is sometimes referred to as "The Kraken" with the theory being if T206 is "The Monster" surely this American Caramel set is a close second in complexity.  It's also a close second in background beauty, as evidenced by Lee Tannehill being shown making a play positioned against a fiery sunset, as envisioned by the lithographers on an SGC 2.5 that is centered hard left.  The upper border has a rough cut and the corners, save the upper right, have been nicked a little.  The color is off the paint-chip charts though, truly something to behold. A slight paper pull is seen across the "M" in caramels, possibly caused by contact with the product as some dotting of residue is also seen.  The black ink is struck darkly on a card that is very pleasing overall for the grade.
