The E94 candy set helped its collectors along by including a full 30-player checklist on card backs, making it easy for any young fan to track what was missing. "Wahoo Sam" Crawford is one of its numerous future Hall of Famers and the SGC POOR 1 grade makes it an approachable entry point.

Recent research indicates this set printer started with their stack of 30 stars and then pitched them to multiple candy makers, offering personalized branding. George Close Candy of Cambridge, MA, appears to be who took greatest advantage of that offer, which then led the ACC to associate this set with the Close company, despite other stamps being known.
