I wonder if Hershey had anything to do with American Caramel's demise? Those old-timey magnates were cut-throat. That Coke news is Very exciting! I'm hoping they surprise you with some crazy new old stock or a promo piece as a gift... I mean it's good press for Coca-Cola in another light, maybe it inspires them to delve back into the hobby some? Make it happen, my friend, that is too cool they even responded!
Hershey knew something. His feeling was that Caramel was in at the time of the sale, but he was playing the long game with chocolate. I'm just hoping for a response from Coca Cola. So far, no response. I'll give it a few more days.
@@SammyThunder Well I'm hoping for you buddy, that would be totally cool. I also wondered to myself while watching your video - maybe Hershey put something addictive in the recipe? I mean Coca-Cola used to have cocaine in it!
Awesome stuff Sammy! Thanks for sharing. The American Caramels, in particular E90-1, are some of the best prewar cards ever made. A set worth celebrating!
Hi Sammy. That was a fun and informative video. I always enjoy learning about new cards/sets and I did not know much the American Caramel Company. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to future episodes.
I love this idea for a series. You should have a subtitle of “Welcome to the rabbit hole do pre-war”. I know I had a few of these way back when I type collected but honestly can’t remember which players were represented. You Mathewson is beautiful. I love the sunset background.
Really good video, Sammy. I like this concept. I don't know much about history of the companies, that produced cards from over a 100 years ago, and I am sure there probably others who could garner a lot of knowledge, too. Looking forward to this series, and congrats on getting the ground running.
Thank you. For some reason, I remember reading an article somewhere that suggested that the drawing on the card is actually Monte Irvin and not Willie Mays.
I love the history of early E,D,M etc cards.. I might add American Caramel was born out of acquisition of Breisch- Hine ( see e107 Breisch- Williams) and the Lancaster Caramel co which maintained Hershey. IMO !!! American Caramel co. Cards are uninspiring ( in fact my view is the E91 set is the worst candy cards ever made)…I will say the e106 matty may be one of the most beautiful cards ever made. None the less… Standard Caramel, Williams caramel , a bunch of confectioners etc etc were MUCH smaller companies but set the bar high for early candy cards.
Thanks Dave. I didn't know that there was an additional acquisition with Breisch to form the ACC. I'm looking at the e107's. What are your thoughts on them?
@ Andrew has a Cy Young e107. The Mathewson is to the moon expensive. I don’t own any… they’re pretty bland. I appreciate them, but don’t have an interest
These cards are so beautiful! Very educational, Sammy. Thanks, my friend!
Thank you Billy.
