We have been fortunate enough to obtain a near set of 1910 American Caramel E90-2 cards (all cards but the Wagner) for our summer auction. The cards which exclusively feature members of the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates are largely collector-grade but still quite attractive. Much more scarce than their E90-1 counterparts the E90-2 checklist mirrors that of the E104-2 issue featuring the player"s name written in blue type. The 11 card set features very detailed high-quality player portraits much more so than most other caramel issues. Printed on thin paper the cards are difficult to find in top condition. Cards in the E90-2 set typically sell for a premium over their E90-1 cousins due to their difficulty to obtain.Deacon Phillippe one of the more popular players of his era is well-represented on this E90-2 card. Graded VG 40 by SGC perhaps a tad generously the card suffers from some technical flaws like heavier corner wear and considerable toning and wear at the left edge. However these are generally ancillary issues in comparison to the overall card image which remains bold and attractive despite the condition flaws. An excellent example of a key card from a tough set.Population DataSGC Population: 33 total graded 4 at this level 4 higherPSA Population: 17 total graded 3 at this level 5 higher
