Walter "Butch" Henline's reliable defense and bursts of power for an otherwise moribund Phillie squad made him a 1920s fan favorite and teammates elected him captain in 1925. His card provides a full-length look at 1920s catching gear, shaped to protect against wild pitchers and spiking runners. Its GD+ grade reflects 20/80 centering, varied corner wear, and touches along its edges. Their current population report shows just four total Henline cards graded.

This set's accepted 1921-23 date range reflects when players appeared on named teams and follows a phased release in the Pennsylvania-Ohio region. These E220 "National Caramel" backs prove somewhat tougher to find today than similar E121 "American Caramel" or E210 "York Caramel" backs.
