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 colorful example was spared some of the more direct results of that, though some light staining is visible along the bottom edge. Centering is north on the canvas, with rounded corners consistent with the grade. Some snow and light color loss appear, most noticeable on Joss' right shoulder, but this card is simply a beautiful specimen from this popular set. The printing on the back is bold and clean, with one small smudge and a spot of soiling near the top of the left edge.

SGC has only ever graded 19 total examples of this 1909-11 E90-1 American Caramel card higher than the VG 3 of Hall of Famer Addie Joss' portrait being offered here.
