Lot # 183: 1915 E106 American Caramel Tris Speaker PSA VG 3

Graded VG 3 by PSA. Mid-grade E106 example of legendary Hall of Famer Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox. The exceptionally rare 1915 E106 American Caramel issue shares designs with several other closely related candy issues (Croft's Candy, Nadja Caramels, Dockman & Sons, etc.) from the same era. These cards have glossy surfaces, which are very susceptible to cracking. This example has brilliant colors, outstanding registration, honest corner wear, and a small surface flaw along the right border. The reverse is heavily soiled. In addition to being issued a few years later than most caramel cards, E106 American Caramel Company cards are considerably rarer than most traditional "E" cards. This is a visually appealing mid-grade example of Hall of Famer Tris Speaker from this extremely rare, early 20th century candy issue.
