Discovered only recently, the Tango Eggs issue was produced in 1916 by L. Frank & Company of New Orleans. Similar to the 1915 E106 American Caramel issue, a hoard of about 800 of the cards were discovered in 1991. Prior to that, the set was virtually unknown with just a handful of circulated cards having popped up over the years. Of the 20 different subjects discovered, the majority of the cards found were either of outfielder Bob Bescher or of Hughie Jennings. Still, even the Bescher and Jennings cards are very scarce and valuable, and often serve as the introduction to the set for prewar collectors who then set about the impossible task of actually completing the set.

Offered here is a gorgeous example of what the set calls its "Buck Weaver" card. The image on the card is actually that of Hall of Famer Joe Tinker, however. Regardless of who the player is on the card, the card itself is in fantastic shape, with great corners and edges. While centering is very nice, some minor diamond cutting leaves the top left corner just a hair higher than the right. Nevertheless, this is an extraordinary example seldom seen with this sort of visual appeal.

PSA has only graded cards from 20 different players in the 1916 Tango Eggs set. Of the 37 which PSA has graded of the "Buck Weaver" (Joe Tinker) example, only eighteen have received a higher grade than the EX 5 offered here.
