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 gorgeous example exhibits some light staining on the front and back, common to the set.

One of "Wee" Willie Keeler's most popular cards, the pink background portait from the E90-1 issue depicts Keeler against a bright pink background in one of the more colorful cards from the issue. Centering is close, but diamond cutting, foxing (particularly on the back), and corners exhibiting rounding and wear contribute to the grade.

Keeler's strategy to "hit 'em where they ain't" nearly led to him becoming the second player in history to amass 3,000 career hits, falling just 68 shy of the magical number over his 19-year Hall of Fame career. At the point of Keeler's retirement, only Cap Anson had actually collected 3,000 career hits. One eight year stretch of Keeler's career saw him produce 200 or more hits every single season, leading the league in three of those years. Keeler achieved career highs in 1897 for batting average (.424), hits (239), and doubles (27), while adding 19 triples and 64 stolen bases in only 129 games. For his career, he had 145 triples and 495 stolen bases, good enough for 59th place and 40th place, respectively, on MLB's all-time list. SGC has only graded 32 Keeler Pink Background Portraits higher than the Good 2 given to this example.
