From the company that offered the long run of Zeenuts, which featured PCL players, the set known as E135 offered 200 subjects but switched focus to the National and American Leagues. Produced at a time when few sets were being issued, it gave collectors and baseball fans on the West Coast a look at players they had only read about in the newspapers or the annual Spading guides.

Philadelphia's Gavvy Cravath is the subject of this example, graded Poor 1 by SGC due to well-worn corners with creasing, as well as some soiling and paper loss on the reverse which does not affect the front. However, the scarcity of this issue far outweighs any cosmetic flaws on this example.

SGC has only ever graded 10 total examples of this E135, with only six receiving a higher grade than the Poor 1 offered here of Philadelphia's Gavvy Cravath.
