E106 American Caramel (1915)

Number of Cards

1915 American Caramel has 48 cards, which there are 2 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The cards are the following dimensions: 1 1/2″ x 2 3/4″

Basic Features

Every card features a colored background adorned with portraits, along with the player's name, team, and position displayed at the bottom. Unlike some other caramel issues, the backs of these cards do not contain a checklist. Instead, they feature a message that informs collectors about the inclusion of 48 players in the set, which was distributed by the American Caramel Company.

An intriguing detail about this group is that Chicago Whales player Joe Tinker was part of it. The Whales are recognized as the first team to play in the stadium currently referred to as Wrigley Field, which is now the home of the Chicago Cubs and remains the only Federal League stadium still operational. Naturally, Tinker was a key player in a remarkable double-play duo alongside his teammates Johnny Evers and Frank Chance, famously known as "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance."

1917 Collins-McCarthy (E135)

Number of Cards

1917 Collins-McCarthy has 200 cards, which there are 13 Cubs players.

Size of Cards

The cards are the following dimensions: 2" x 3-1/4"

Basic Features

The Collins-McCarthy cards featured a black and white design showcasing player images, names, positions, and teams on the front, along with a card number. The reverse side indicated that the card was part of a set of 200, titled "Baseball’s Hall of Fame." However, the Baseball Hall of Fame itself was not established until 1936. This set includes several Cubs players who were not widely featured on many cards, making them relatively unknown, such as Art Wilson.

Wilson, a catcher, primarily served as a backup throughout most of his career, although he did take on the role of starting catcher for the Federal League's Chicago Whales during their two-season run from 1914 to 1915. He made history by hitting the first home run at Wrigley Field, off George "Chief" Johnson, on April 23, 1914. Additionally, he was the catcher for Cubs pitcher Hippo Vaughn during the famous "double no-hitter" game in 1917. A game where both teams finish without a hit in nine innings, a feat that may never be matched again.

1932 World Series Program

This World Series is particularly famous for Babe Ruth's legendary "called shot" home run, which took place during his 10th and final appearance in the event. The atmosphere was charged with intense disputes between the two teams, escalating the tension even before the series commenced. A remarkable total of 13 future Hall of Famers participated in this World Series, alongside three additional future Hall of Famers: umpire Bill Klem, Yankees manager Joe McCarthy, and Cubs manager Rogers Hornsby. Notably, it was the first World Series where both teams donned uniforms featuring numbers on the backs of their shirts.

The series program showcased images of both teams and Wrigley Stadium, which was quite colorful. It's unfortunate that the Cubs couldn't secure a few wins to make it more interesting.
