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.

St. Louis' Lee Meadows is the subject of this example, graded Authentic by SGC presumably due to potential evidence of trimming. Centering is northwest on the canvas, with some light soiling, soft corners, and a soft left edge the only other physical concerns. However, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any perceived cosmetic flaws on this example.

SGC has only ever graded 8 total examples of this E135, with only five receiving a higher grade than the Authentic offered here of St. Louis' Lee Meadows.
