From the company that offered the long run of Zeenuts, which featured PCL players, the set known as E135 offered 200 subjects but switched focus to the National and American Leagues. Produced at a time when few sets were being issued, it gave collectors and baseball fans on the West Coast a look at players they had only read about in the newspapers or the annual Spading guides.

Boston's Jack Barry is the subject of this example, graded Fair 1.5 by SGC due mainly to some light pencil writing near the top of the reverse which does not affect the front. There is some light creasing and faint surface abrasions on the front, with centering southwest on the canvas. However, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any cosmetic flaws on this example.

SGC has only ever graded 9 total examples of this E135, with only four receiving a higher grade than the Fair 1.5 offered here of Boston's Jack Barry.
