This card captures Hall of Fame outfielder Edgar "Sam" Rice on the cusp of Senatorial success, as Washington would win their only World Series in 1924 over John McGraw's Giants, soon after this card's distribution.

This SVG 1 (poor) grade reflects its corner wear and modest haze from handling on front and back. It's unclear how National Caramel chose third base for Rice, as he played outfield after flirting with pitching as a rookie. Their current population report shows just four total Rice cards graded.

Our current auction features several E220 "National Caramel" singles. This set features some of the best card photography of that era and its accepted 1921-23 date range reflects when players appeared on their named teams. The set followed a phased release in the Pennsylvania-Ohio region and "National Caramel" backs prove somewhat tougher to find today than related E121 "American Caramel" or E210 "York Caramel" backs.
